If that's a metro, it's a very old aircraft. Very. Could be engine
maintenance problems. And the Garrett 331 is no PT6.

     Here's the dashcam video of the aircraft starting from when it is
inverted, then the crash itself:

     It appears to be rolling to the right.

Essentially a modified MetroLiner III, I believe.

If memory serves me, the Metro III was (may still be) exceedingly
difficult during climb out with a loss of critical engine at max
takeoff weight.
