In the final accident report, the NTSB determined that the probable causes of thes accident included the flight crew's failure to ensure that the airplane's wings were free of ice or snow contamination that accumulated while the airplane was on the ground, which resulted in an attempted takeoff with upper wing contamination that induced the subsequent stall and collision with the ground. The first officer and two passengers, Dick Eberson and his other son Charlie, were injured. The captain, flight attendant, and one of the three passengers, Dick Ebersol's son Teddy, were killed. There was light snow and mist reported at the time of the accident. The force of the crash separated the cockpit from the rest of the fuselage.
