An ultralight crashed into lake, disintegrating upon impact. The pilot was rescued with some injuries, whereas the passenger was trapped in the sunken wreckage and died.
News said investigation was conducted after the accident and a report was released within five days. Media accounts differed in the type of the accident aircraft. Initial narratives, including one immediately after the publication of the investigation report, wrote "Dragonfly W-C", but a subsequent source gave "Dragonfly W-5A", which seemed to be authentic.
It was said that the accident occurred due to engine failure and the excessive action by the occupant(s). The accident flight was unapproved.
