Authorities closed the airstrip for an investigation, with investigators collecting debris and speaking with witnesses about the incident. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear, with no immediate hazards identified.
Officials said the cause of the crash is under investigation, and a preliminary report is expected within the next few days as aviation investigators review flight data and maintenance records.
