Just after liftoff, while in initial climb, the airplane stalled and crashed back onto the runway, veered off runway and came to rest in flames. All occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed.
Probable cause:
The total weight of the aircraft was above MTOW at the time of the accident and the airplane has been refueled with a too low octane fuel, which caused the engines to lose power during takeoff.
