Circumstances:
After the aircraft crossed the lake at low altitude, the pilot initiated a steep turn to the left to avoid 200 feet hill. Doing so, the left wing tip struck spruce trees and then the ground, causing the aircraft to cartwheel and to crash in flames. Three passengers were injured while a fourth passenger and the pilot were killed. The aircraft was destroyed.
