From the Wikipedia article
ASL Airlines Hungary Flight 7332 was a cargo flight operating for DHL from Paris–Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, to Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport, Italy. On 5 August 2016, the Boeing 737-400 overran the runway while landing at Bergamo in poor weather, and came to rest on a nearby road. The airport was closed for almost three hours after the crash, and flights were rescheduled or rerouted to Malpensa Airport. The two-person crew suffered serious injuries.
Accident
The plane landed approximately 2000 m into the 2900 m runway 28, and did not stop until more than 500 m beyond the end of the runway. It broke through the airport perimeter fence, and rolled onto an active four-lane highway, with some vehicles in the adjacent parking lot being destroyed in the process. The aircraft left a long trail of destruction as it rolled off from the runway.
It sustained substantial damage, losing its CFM56 engines and main landing gear, and fracturing the horizontal stabilizer.
Investigation and cause
Investigation
Italian air investigation agency ANSV began an inquiry into the accident. The CVR and DFDR were retrieved on the day of the accident. A preliminary report was released on 21 September 2016.
The final report, released in August 2018, concluded that the accident was mainly caused by the loss of situational awareness of the crew.
