A Socata TBM 700 on an instrument approach to Evanston, Wyoming climbed and then turned away from the published missed approach, eventually entering a steep descending turn into terrain. Both occupants were killed and a post impact fire consumed much of the cockpit. The NTSB attributed the accident to spatial disorientation in restricted visibility, mountain obscuration and turbulence.
