I've read 5 accident reports regarding the Caravans, of which three never left the ground. All winter time flight related and pilot error. The other 2 did involve pilot error when landing. However, there were no injuries/minor in any of these events.

1) [overweight icing on takeoff] http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...12X22480&key=1
2) [lack (seasonal/rain/fog) of vision on descent] http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...12X22063&key=1
3) [winter weather] http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...03X00015&key=1
4) [snow covered rwy w/tailwind] http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...06X00190&key=1
