Description: Today's video we're going to discuss an accident that happened earlier this year, just a few weeks ago in North Carolina. This was a fatal accident of a Beechcraft Baron, actually the same week, around the same day or the same week where we had another crash of a PC-12 there in North Carolina. Rest in peace to Mr. Akley and condolences to his family and everyone who's connected to him. It's always devastating when you read about another pilot crash, especially in a new year. The aircraft involved in this crash, a Beechcraft Baron light twin engine airplane, and one fatality, which was the pilot involved here.He was 43 years old. And according to reports. Beechcraft Baron took off on runway 24, according to the report facing the Southeast. And an eyewitness said that when they saw the airplane took off on the climb they saw smoke on the right engine of that airplane. And it was said that the airplane flew to about 300ft above ground when they started to see that there was some mechanical problems there. Seconds later, the aircraft crashed into a tractor trailer, injuring two other people, the driver of the tractor and a passenger. But it was also close to the highway, which may be a reference to perhaps the pilot was trying to land or crash land the airplane on the highway.
