Circumstances:
En route from Lisbon to Bragança, while cruising at an altitude of 8,000 feet over clouds, the right engine suffered vibration. Few minutes later, the crew decided to shut it down and its propeller was feathered. As the crew was unable to maintain a safe altitude on one engine, he decided to descend and to attempt an emergency landing on a road. On final, the aircraft struck trees and crashed. All four occupants were slightly injured.
