Out of control, it entered a dive and crashed on a hilly and wooded terrain. All three occupants were killed. Honduran Authorities suspected the aircraft to perform an illegal smuggling flight. At the time of the accident, the aircraft registration was false: HK-303.

The aircraft touched down on the top of a flood control dike approx 12 feet wide. The aircraft continued for about 1,336 feet before the left wheel slid off the dike where the dike makes a slight curve to the right. The left gear was torn from the aircraft as it left the dike. The left wing struck some heavy brush which rotated the aircraft 180°. The nose gear was torn from the aircraft and the right gear collapsed during the crash sequence. An exam of the aircraft revealed all cabin seats had been removed and the aircraft was gutted by fire. The aircraft's fuel caps were located on the ground next to the aircraft. An unidentified body was found about 835 feet north of the aircraft. No one has claimed ownership of the aircraft and the address of the registered owner is non-existent. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.
