The air taxi revenue cargo flight crashed into a residential area occurring shortly after takeoff from Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport. The pilot, the only occupant of the aircraft, was fatally injured. Two houses were damaged by aircraft impact and fire, but no injuries were sustained by persons on the ground. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the in-flight failure of the left wing which resulted from a preexisting fatigue crack in the left-wing lower spar cap at Wing Station 81.
