The aircraft was on an instrument flight rules flight from Toronto, Ontario to Oshawa, Ontario when a malfunction in the
landing gear system led the pilot to attempt to lower the landing gear, using the emergency landing gear extension procedure. The pilot was unable to determine the position of the landing gear to his satisfaction, and he carried out two missed approaches.
During the second missed approach, both engines lost power while the aircraft was over a residential area, adjacent to the airport, and the aircraft descended and struck a house. Both occupants of the aircraft were seriously injured, as were both occupants of the house.
The Canadian Aviation Safety Board determined that, immediately following take-off, the two landing gear motor lugs failed in overload and shear. The landing gear and other technical problems so occupied the pilot's attention that he did not manage fuel consumption. The engines stopped because of fuel starvation.
