An Antonov An-26B on a scheduled service from Cali to Villagarzón, carrying three crew and about 50 passengers, reported a left engine problem and diverted to Pasto. During the single-engine landing on runway 02 it could not stop in the remaining distance, went down a roughly 15 metre embankment and broke in two with its left wing torn off. All 53 occupants got out, a few of them with injuries.
