On April 12, 2006, about 1600 eastern standard time, a Colombian registered Piper PA-34-200T airplane, HK-2387, operated by Star Company impacted wires in Antioquia, Colombia.

The flight originated at Olaya Herrera International Airport, Medellin, Colombia, earlier that day, about 1515.
According to information obtained from an official with the Colombian DGAC, the airplane was approaching to land at Amalfi Airport, Antioquia, Colombia, and during the approach it became entangled in electrical wires.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Right engine shutdown, possibly due to lack of fuel, which caused the aircraft to descend, aggravated by the extended landing gear and flaps that produced an impact against a power line carrier pole.
