NTSB summary
On April 1, 2025, about 1704 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 310Q, N8242Q, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Midvale, Ohio. The pilot was fatally injured.

The instructional flight flew an extended left downwind leg of the traffic pattern to allow time for N8242Q to reenter the final approach leg, then reentered the downwind leg.

They further stated that there were no emergency or distress calls announced over the CTAF prior to the accident. A witness located near the accident site reported that he observed a twin engine airplane in a steep bank right turn followed by a sp
