From the Wikipedia article
On Tuesday 29 April 1958, in the vicinity of Voronezh, an An-10 crashed during a test flight, killing 1 person. It was the first known fatal accident in the history of the An-10.
Crash
On 29 April the aircraft was performing its first test flight, and it was flown by a crew headed by the commander V. Ya. Larionov. During the test flight engine No. 1 (outermost left) failed, after which the thrust of engine No. 4 (outermost right) was reduced. The reduction in engine thrust was performed by the automatic system for countering the yawing moment, since the design of the An-10 aircraft is such that it can continue flight on two engines as well (in this case — the inner ones). However, the power of the two remaining engines then also began to fall. In this situation the crew was forced to make a hard landing in a field by a small river, and the flight engineer A. A. Zakharov was killed.
