According to the aviator, the engine had failed in mid-flight, for which they proceeded to return to the Mina Clavero aerodrome. However, the wind once morest them played a trick on them and they fell on the open area.
Staff from Duar, ETAC and members of the San Alberto Departmental Police worked at the site. Both crew members were transferred to the Mina Clavero hospital for more complex studies.
