Flying at very low altitude over a hilly and wooded terrain, pilots began to descend near a hamlet where his wife accompanying lived before.
Suddenly, the driver lost control of the aircraft yaw. It attempts to land in a field slightly slope just below it. In contact with the ground, the right skid breaks and the unit is setting on the right flank.
The loss of the anti-torque function seems to result from a collision with an obstacle for which precise identification could be made, probably a tree branch. Both blades tail rotor were found fifty meters away from the unit.
