The Hunting Surveys aircraft was flying a survey line at about 400 feet when the crew suspected an oil leak on the No. 2 engine. The propeller was feathered and power on the No. 1 engine was increased, but that propeller ran away, attempts to unfeather the No. 2 engine failed, and the aircraft struck the ground near Ha'il. All four people on board survived.
