What happened

Left engine lost power immediately after rotation, which caused the airplane to lose altitude and subsequently impact ground at approximately 600 feet southeast of the runway. The airplane came to rest approximately 155 feet from the first point of contact, facing 85 degrees northeast. The airplane was subsequently engulfed by fire. Two people escaped with minor injury and a third person escaped with severe burns to the arms, hands and legs.
