The An-24 veered right during take-off and ran into a 1,2m high mound of packed snow. A 60m wide part of the runway had been cleared from snow; mounds of snow along the cleared strip were hiding the runway lights and edge markings. The runway surface however was uneven with different thicknesses of packed snow.
