Read the full NTSB narrative

THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A RIDGE AT AN ELEVATION OF ABOUT 2000 FT MSL. AT THE IMPACT POINT, THE TERRAIN SLOPED UPWARD AT AN ANGLE OF ABOUT 35 DEGREES. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED IN A NEAR LEVEL FLIGHT ATTITUDE. THE WEATHER AT THE CRASH SITE WAS NOT DETERMINED. HOWEVER, ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, THE WEATHER REPORTS AND FORECAST INDICATED THE MOUNTAINS WOULD BE OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. THE LOS ANGELES BASIN WAS EXPECTED TO BE COVERED WITH ABOUT A 2000 FT OVERCAST. THE PROPELLER SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE DURING IMPACT AND DISPLAYED ROTATIONAL DAMAGE. AN EXAMINATION OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS REVEALED NO PREIMPACT DAMAGE.
