The wreckage was found the next day on the eastern slope of the hill, at 1,650 feet AMSL and an estimated impact speed of over 100 mph. The cause of the accident was attributed to the pilot flying VFR in fog and low cloud at 1,800 feet, when visual references were becoming obscured by fog and low cloud.
