The Cessna 150 impacted a mountainside.
CONCLUSION:
The lack of comprehensive communication established by the ATC Controller and the Pilot of the aircraft, both failed to identify the orography along the established route, resulting in the sudden sight of a mountain before impact. This occurred because the pilot in command attempted to fly through a cloud on his route that covered the terrain he was flying over, consequently leading to the described accident.
