How much further ahead off the departure end of 29 is the railroad, power lines and village she was turning to avoid ?
Google Earth is your friend.

Crash site is about 600 metres off the end of 29.

There is no village I can see off the centre line, there is a couple of settlements one at about 30 degrees off the centre line and another about 45 degrees off the centre line. The closest one is the one at 45 degrees at just under 1 nm

The railway is 1.7 nm from the threshold, so well past the crash site.

From the position of the crash site I doubt she was avoiding either a village or railway line.

There does appear to be a single wire power line across the takeoff path at around 750 metres from the departure end of 29 (11 threshold). It's possible she could have been avoiding this.
