The driver of one of the snow clearing vehicles got lost and drove towards the intersection of the runways 06/24 and 01/19.
At the same time, the Falcon's crew received clearance to take off runway 06 and started the take-off run. About ten seconds after the machine had received clearance to start, the motion radar in the control tower registered that one of the snow clearing vehicles was traveling south on lane 19 and was approaching the intersection with lane 06. When the aircraft began to take off after 14 seconds, the pilots shouted that a "vehicle" was crossing the runway. The take-off continued and the machine took off at a speed of 134 knots (approx. 248 km / h). After 1030 meters, the Falcon's right wing and main landing gear collided with the snow clearing vehicle. The machine rolled in the air and landed upside down 250 meters on the ground. It then slid over the top of the fuselage into the grass next to the runway. A fire broke out, which the airport fire brigade quickly put out. There were no survivors among the four occupants of the machine.
