Probable cause

The exceedance of the maximum airspeed for flight with the landing gear extended, which resulted in a separation of the right main landing gear door that subsequently impacted the right propeller and resulted in a total loss of right engine power. Contributing to the accident was the damaged wiring harness of the left engine oil pressure sending unit, which gave a false indication of an engine malfunction that resulted in the precautionary shutdown of the left engine.
