From the Wikipedia article
On 20 June 1977, an Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante of TAMU took off from Montevideo bound for Salto, and crashed into some trees and an orange grove while attempting to land at Salto. Killing five of the 15 people on board.
Accident
On approaching Salto airport, the crew encountered bad weather conditions and did not realise that their altitude was insufficient. Which caused the aircraft to strike trees and crash into an orange grove.
Investigation and cause
Investigation
The investigation revealed that the cause of the accident was pilot error due to the bad weather during landing, which caused the aircraft to run off the runway.
