Circumstances:
The crew was completing a spraying mission near the village of Kistenovo (about 160 km southeast of Nizhny Novgorod). In unclear circumstances, it appears that the aircraft struck high tension wires then crashed in a field, bursting into flames. The captain was seriously injured while the copilot was killed. Two days later, the captain died from his injuries.
