During a wildlife rabies vaccine bait airdrop, a Cessna FR172H Rocket (Reims) experienced a drop in oil pressure followed by an engine failure. The pilot conducted an emergency landing on a nearby farmland in Jamno, near Łowicz, however after touchdown the nose wheel got stuck in the ground, causing the aircraft to flip over.
