Piper PA-31-310 Navajo

The pilot, sole on board, was completing a flight from Albuquerque to Saint Louis with an intermediate stop in Joplin. On approach by night and marginal weather conditions, he was unable to locate the runway and decided to make a go-around. A second approach was abandoned few minutes later. During the third approach, low fuel reserves forced the pilot to attempt an emergency landing on a highway. In limited visibility, the twin engine airplane struck a highway bridged and crashed about 5 miles southeast of runway 31 threshold. The pilot was seriously injured and the aircraft was totally destroyed.
