Description
At about 1400 Eastern Standard Time, the aircraft was about 2 to 3 m above the ground returning to land, when the pilot and loader heard a clunk. The aircraft started yawing to the left and descending. The pilot selected opposite direction yaw input, but the aircraft did not respond. The aircraft collided with terrain upright but in a nose-down attitude and then rolled onto its side, resulting in substantial damage.
