More info has appeared....

A Cessna 172 Skyhawk, N61657, and an Extra EA-300/LC, N330AN, were destroyed when they collided in mid-air while on approach to land on runway 14 at Fort Morgan Municipal Airport.
One occupants from the Extra sustained fatal injuries. The second occupant and two occupants of the Cessna survived with reported minor injuries.

The Skyhawk was on a straight in approach to the runway, while the Extra was on a left base-to-final turn to the same runway. KFMM is an uncontrolled (non-towered) airport.

Bit early to draw conclusions,the pilot was very experienced,could have been a malfunction,however I agree a loop in full reheat does seem unusual.
