The pilot had been competing in the South Island Regional Gliding Championships. During a reversal turn, away from a ridge, the right wing of the glider struck terrain. The glider was destroyed, and both occupants were killed in the accident. A CAA field investigation concluded that the glider would have been susceptible to significant drift during the turn and that there was a likelihood of turbulence and downdraughts in the area at the time.
Mt Prospect is located east of Lake Hawea.
