Malakal's Governor's Press Office reported the B722 had experienced problems prior to landing and was performing an emergency landing, skidded off the runway and collided with the debris of another aircraft that had crashed a few months earlier. All seven occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft safely.
Malakal's Airport Manager reported the aircraft landed at about 11:00L (09:00Z) but was too low on approach, touched down a few meters short of the runway causing both main gear struts to collapse. The crew lost control of the airway which veered off the runway and collided with the MD-82 that had crashed in Malakal about 1.5 months ago. All on board (6 crew, one passenger) are in good condition, however, one of the occupants sustained injuries.
