The crash occurred because of a line of thunderstorms moving through the Little Rock area. An investigation is on to ascertain whether weather factors were the only reasons behind the crash or not. Eyewitnesses saw an intense fire from the crash site.

According to the FAA, the plane was traveling to Ohio. The deceased were employees of CTEH, an environmental consulting firm based in North Little Rock. They were flying to Ohio after an explosion occurred at a metals plant that killed one worker and injured several more.
