Witness reports indicate that K50 was that day experiencing the worst weather in decades. Cloud base was reported to be low with heavy fog. The aircraft is reported to have circled the airport for a few minutes before it impacted a 60m communication mast about 3 Km from the airport. This impact sheared off part of one mainplane. The aircraft then crashed 50m ahead in an open field. All on board perished. There was no fire.
