Both pilots were fatally injured. The airplane was operated under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 125 as a nonscheduled cargo flight. The flight crew initially departed Laredo International Airport (LRD), Laredo, Texas, about 1838 central time the evening before the accident and arrived at Millington/Memphis Airport (NQA), Millington, Tennessee, about 2210 central time. The airplane was refueled before it departed NQA at 2314 for the accident flight. Air traffic control position data depicted the airplane proceed direct to Toledo Express Airport (TOL), Toledo, Ohio, after departure from NQA at a cruise altitude of 7,000 ft mean sea level. About 39 miles southwest of TOL, the airplane entered a cruise descent in preparation for approach and landing. At 0225, the flight was handed off to TOL tower and instructed to descend to 3,000 ft. At 0233, the TOL tower controller instructed the flight crew to descend and maintain 2,100 ft. At 0235, the flight crew informed the controller that they were flying a wide base, and the controller cleared the pilots for a visual approach to runway 25. The airplane was about 5 miles southeast of TOL at that time. At 0236, the controller cleared the pilots to land.
