A Cessna 310I, C-GWWO, serial number 310I0161, departed Manning for Calgary, Alberta, on an instrument flight rules flight plan, with Lethbridge as the alternate airport. The aircraft started to pick up light rime icing during the initial descent into the Calgary area. During radar vectors for an instrument landing system (ILS) approach onto runway 34 in Calgary, the aircraft entered an area of moderate icing.
The approach was unsuccessful, and the pilot was vectored for another ILS approach to the same runway. During the second approach, the aircraft descended into a rail yard 4.5 statute miles short of the runway, at 19:10 mountain daylight time. The aircraft collided with a structure on the roof of a diesel locomotive maintenance building and came to rest in an inverted position. The pilot and two passengers evacuated the aircraft unassisted. The pilot sustained serious injuries and the passengers, minor injuries
