What happened
During a routine cargo transport from La Paz, Mexico, an unidentified aircraft type was performing its final approach toward Culiacán Rosales-Federal de Bachigualato Airport. As the flight neared the runway threshold, the plane descended into a residential area located less than one kilometer from the airport. The impact caused the aircraft to strike multiple houses, which subsequently caught fire and were destroyed.
All of the crew members, consisting of two fatalities, perished in the accident. Although the crash resulted in significant structural damage to several homes, there were no casualties reported among the residents on the ground.
Findings
Preliminary observations indicate that the aircraft was operating at an unsafe altitude during the final phase of the approach. The specific reasons for this low altitude remain undetermined.
