Read the full NTSB narrative

THE FLIGHT WAS ENROUTE FROM BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT TO OLD FORGE, NEW YORK WHEN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE ENCOUNTERED. A REQUEST FOR LOWER ALTITUDE TO ESCAPE WEATHER WAS NO IMPROVEMENT AND A REQUEST TO LAND AT ONEIDA WAS MADE. DURING RADAR VECTORS THROUGH 1200 FOOT CEILING, THE AIRCRAFT PICKED UP A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF ICE. THE FLIGHT BROKE OUT OF THE CLOUDS AT ABOUT 400 FEET AND TOUCHED DOWN HARD. THE GEAR COLLAPSED DURING THE LNDG.
