NTSB summary
On February 15, 2025, about 2300, a Rockwell 112, N1423J, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Covington, Georgia. The private pilot and one passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

At 2256, the pilot advised the controller he would be departing from runway 10 and was ready to depart. The DRN controller issued the clearance with an initial climb to 3,000 ft, as well as a departure frequency and transponder code, which the pilot correctly read back. The pilot was advised that the release for departure clearance was void if he had not departed within 10 minutes, which he acknowledged. There was no record that the pilot contacted the DRN controller after his last audio communication while on the ground. A review of airport security cameras revealed that a light from the airplane came into view during the takeoff roll on runway 10 at 2259 and went out of view from that camera several seconds later. The airplane at the time when it went out of view was located about 1,800 ft down the runway. Another airport security camera with a view of where the airplane impacted trees and terrain recorded a very bright light filling the upper porti
