Circumstances:
On approach to runway 36, the pilot-in-command was hampered by insufficient visibility due to fog and decided to abandon the landing and to make a low pass over the airport. Few minutes later, he was cleared to make an approach to runway 18 and decided to refer to three roads but referred to the wrong road. On final, the airplane was unstable and banked left, causing the left engine to struck the ground. The airplane crashed 200 meters short of runway threshold and came to rest. Four passengers were killed.
