During the turn onto final approach to Runway 15 at a ranch strip near Sumacal, Bolivia, the aircraft overshot the normal approach path. It would appear that the pilot then attempted to re-align the aircraft with the runway heading but during this manoeuvre its left wing struck a 35 feet tall tree located about 100 feet to the West of the extended centre line of the runway. The aircraft crashed and caught fire.
The accident happened in daylight (14:45 hours Local time). The aircraft was being used to support three ranches in the region which are apparently owned by the owner of the aircraft. The flight had earlier departed Trinidad and made intermediate stops at Nuevamente and Cashaschanes.
