What happened
During a flight traveling from Corpus Christi toward Mexico City, the crew of the aircraft encountered mechanical difficulties while traversing the airspace over Tamaulipas. After notifying Air Traffic Control of these technical issues, the flight was authorized to divert to Nuevo Laredo to perform an emergency landing.
Shortly after receiving clearance for the diversion, the aircraft impacted a mountain situated approximately 20 km from the Nuevo Laredo airport. The impact resulted in the deaths of all five occupants on board.
Findings
No specific investigation results regarding the mechanical failure were provided, though the sequence of events indicates the crash occurred during the emergency diversion phase following a report of technical problems.
