Probable cause
A total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
NTSB analysis
Shortly after departure, the turbine engine lost total power. The pilot attempted to land on the remaining runway, but overran the departure end and collided with terrain. The left wing sustained substantial damage.
The turbine engine and associated governor were removed from the airplane and examined. No anomalies were detected with the engine or components which would have contributed to the loss of engine power. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
