Rockwell Aero Commander 560

En route from Chicago to International Falls, while in cruising altitude, the crew encountered poor weather with icing conditions. The pilot-in-command was cleared to divert to the nearest airport and started to descend. On approach to Hibbing-Chisholm Airport, the crew did not land but initiated a go-around. After passing over the runway end, control was lost and the airplane crashed in a field. The aircraft was destroyed and both pilots were seriously injured.
