A Curtiss C-46 cargo flight left Villavicencio-La Vanguardia for Mitu. Shortly after takeoff the right engine overspeed, and the crew turned back. On approach they could not reach the runway, so they landed in a field, slid into a ditch and burned. One passenger died and other occupants were injured.
