The United Express flight was completing its landing roll on runway 13 and the King Air was departing on runway 4. Both pilots and 10 passengers on the 1900C and both pilots on the A90D were killed.

The complete narrative for this investigation is contained in PB97-910404, NTSB/AAR-97/04.
Probable cause
the failure of the pilots in the King Air A90 to effectively monitor the common traffic advisory frequency or to properly scan for traffic, resulting in their commencing a takeoff roll when the Beech 1900C (United Express flight 5925) was landing on an intersecting runway. Contributing to the cause of the accident was the Cherokee pilot's interrupted radio transmission, which led to the Beech 1900
