A Cessna F150F (D-EEAW, full c/n F15000028/15063028) and a HOAC HK-36R Super Dimona were involved in a mid-air collision near Zell am See Airfield - LOWZ during the landing procedure. Both aircraft came down about 100 metres from the runway. Both occupants of the Cessna were killed. One of the two ocupants of the HOAC HK-36R Super Dimona was also killed and the other was seriously injured and airlifted to hospital. He died in the hospital at the afternoon.
A medical examination revealed that the pilot of the Cessna had used cannabis.
