A single fuel selector out of position ended the flight two miles short of the runway. The private pilot was flying his wife and children home on a VFR cross-country from Ontario to John C. Tune Airport near Nashville, Tennessee. Night visual conditions prevailed as he descended out of 10,500 feet, worked through Class C airspace, and was cleared to land on runway 20 under Part 91.

The controller declared an emergency and repeatedly cleared him for runway 2, but the pilot was too far to glide there. The airplane struck terrain next to an interstate two nautical miles south of the field, followed by a significant post-impact fire. All five aboard were killed.

The NTSB determined the accident was caused by the pilot's failure to ensure proper placement of the fuel selector during the approach and landing, resulting in fuel starvation and a total loss of engine power.
