From Wikipedia
On 20 January 2014, Școala Superioară de Aviație Civilă Flight 111, a Britten-Norman Islander operated by Romania's Superior School of Aviation (Romanian: Școala Superioară de Aviație Civilă), crashed in the Apuseni Mountains, at an altitude of approximately 1,400 metres (4,600 ft), near the village of Petreasa, Romania. The aircraft was transporting a five-person medical team from Bucharest to Oradea. The captain and a medical student died while the copilot and four doctors survived injured.
An investigation conducted by the Center for Investigation and Analysis for Civil Aviation Security (Romanian: Centrul de Investigații și Analiză pentru Siguranța Aviației Civile) concluded in October 2015 that the cause of the accident was the shutdown of both engines as a result of icing affecting the carburetors.
