I agree. We have some plausible speculations, but we don't yet know how the
collision came about.

It is a reasonable (and most likely correct) guess that they just
screwed up. It was time to turn around in a narrow VFR airspace and
they screwed up. Lidle should have known about the narrow VFR
corridor.

As with other Cirrus accidents, this is almost surely another case of
an inexperienced pilot killing himself...not the plane causing a
problem.
