Analysis
While still several miles from addison, TX, the acft encountered the leading edge of a thunderstorm. Both occupants stated the acft encountered wind shear. Reportedly, the wind shear was so severe that it forced the acft down & it contacted the ground. A few minutes prior to the accident, the wx at addison changed from 1300 scattered to 900 ft obscured, visibility 1 mi. About 30 min later, the wx improved significantly.
