Police said the plane was heading from Sola airport and that it was supposed to have landed on a small-aircraft called Torsnes Fredrikstad Municipality.

It never did. Instead collided it with a treetop and gone.

The remains are scattered over a large area, and the pilot did not manage to send distress call before the plane crashed, if you believe NTB.
