Circumstances:
Following an uneventful flight from Krakow, the crew initiated the approach to Warsaw-Okecie Airport at night and in poor visibility due to fog. Too low, the twin engine airplane collided with a power line and crashed in a field located in Piaseczno, some 8 km south of the airport. Both pilots and two passengers were killed.
