Fuel shortage caused the flight crew to perform a forced landing near a settlement, but on the fourth attempt to land the aircraft hit trees at a height of 900 metres on the slope of a 1,000 metres high hill. It came to rest upside down at a height of 850 metres on the opposite slope of the hill, 340 metres from the first impact.
