En route, the crew considered the fuel jauges as too low and as a precaution, attempted an emergency landing to avoid any fuel exhaustion. The pilot-in-command spotted a flat terrain on a plateau and decided to land when the aircraft crashed in which was actually a swamp. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and all occupants were seriously injured.
