a TB 10 registered in the Netherlands PH-RCV has crashed in Austria near the Tiersee.
One Dutchman died at the scene , one other seriously and critically injured.
It seems it may have flown into a mountain in fog and by the looks of the pic more or less pancacked it, the plane looks in surprising good state for a CFIT

Yes, saw it on Airworks, too. The usual nonsense in the papers, though the reg is clearly shown and all info is available. Yet one paper names it a two-seater, another even mentions a Cessna.
Our thoughts to the victims and their relatives, and let's hope for a speedy recovery for the one that can still hope.

@Mr VanHorck: it is Thiersee, not Tiersee, sorry to be demanding...

They probably saw the terrain and pulled up, too late.
So many people get killed by this kind of flying. Some of them with IRs etc, who had better options.
Eerily similar to that Baron which came down almost vertically onto that ridge in the Alps, but he hit with a much higher vertical speed. That remains the weirdest crash I have come across.

Agreed, it was the one where the wings wrapped the rock, here the TB's wing seems in better shape, meaning less velocity, hence why one man (the pilot according to some reports) is still fighting for his life.

The surviving person (possibly the pilot) is still alive and is no longer in imminent danger.
No technical defects are expected
