The certificated commercial pilot was fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed, and the airplane, which departed Talladega Municipal Airport (ASN), Talladega, Alabama, at 1003, was operating on an instrument flight rules flight plan to Port Columbus International Airport (CMH), Columbus, Ohio. The personal flight was conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.

Probable cause
Improper alignment of a turbocharger oil line, which resulted in wear damage through the hose wall and a subsequent loss of engine oil. Contributing to the accident was the low cloud ceiling.
