The twin engine airplane departed Nassau-Lynden Pindling Airport runway 14 at 1230LT on a flight to San Andros, carrying nine passengers and one pilot. Following a short 20-minute flight at an altitude of 2,300 feet, the pilot initiated a left hand circuit and the approach to runway 12 when the airplane crashed in a wooded area located about one km short of runway, bursting into flames. A passenger was seriously injured while nine other occupants were killed. Few hours later, the only survivor died from injuries sustained.
