𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝟮𝟱𝟱 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Saginaw to Santa Ana with stopovers in Detroit and Phoenix. The flight was being operated by a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (Reg. N312RC) on 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟲, 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟳.

About 18:53, Flight 255 departed Saginaw and about 19:42 arrived at its gate at Detroit. About 20:32, flight 255 departed the gate with 149 passengers and 6 crewmembers on board. The flight was then cleared to "taxi via the ramp, hold short of (taxiway) delta and expect runway three center [3C] (for takeoff)..." The ground controller amended the clearance, stating that the flight had to exit the ramp at taxiway Charlie. During the taxi out, the captain missed the turnoff at taxiway C. When the first officer contacted ground control, the ground controller redirected them to taxi to runway 3C.

At 20:42, the local controller cleared Flight 255 to taxi into position on runway 3C and to hold. At 20:44:04, Flight 255 was cleared for takeoff. At 20:44:57, the first officer called "Rotate." 8 seconds later, the stall warning stick shaker activated, accompanied by voice warnings of the SSRS. After Flight 255 became airborne it began rolling to the left and right before the left wing hit a light pole in a rental car lot. The plane continued rolling to the left when it impacted the ground on a road outside the airport boundary.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲:
"The flight crew's failure to use the taxi checklist to ensure that the flaps and slats were extended for take-off. Contributing the accident was the absence of electrical power to the airplane take-off warning system which thus did not warn the flight crew that the airplane was not configured properly for take-off. The reason for the absence of electrical power could not be determined."
