The aircraft was carrying an external load consisting of rolled linoleum and possibly, but not confirmed, two folding chairs. There were only two seat belts for the six persons on board. The overload was computed to be 455lbs. It was not possible to ascertain the centre of gravity position. The accident resulted in all six persons on board receiving fatal injuries.
