On final approach to Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport, the pilot failed to realize his altitude was insufficient when the aircraft struck power cables. It stalled and crashed in a field short of runway, bursting into flames. All six occupants evacuated the cabin before the aircraft would be destroyed by fire. All five passengers were unhurt while the pilot suffered a broken vertebra.
