The aircraft encountered severe wind shear after takeoff, causing it to lose airspeed and fail to climb. The pilot did not apply full power and commenced a turn to the left as there was no suitable landing area ahead. The airspeed reduced even further and the aircraft rolled to the left before colliding with a tree and coming to rest inverted approximately 15 metres from a house. The four occupants were seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
