The aircraft struck a powerline during an aerial spraying operation. Although it remained airborne, the rudder and vertical stabiliser were damaged and the pilot had difficulty maintaining directional control.

During the approach for landing, the aircraft encountered a crosswind, causing it to weathercock and collide with trees.
