Citing preliminary information, it said that four crew members were killed. The news magazine Proceso reported that the victims were three men and one woman.

The accident occurred near the Cuernavaca airport, which is located in Temixco. Photos posted to social media by the CEPCM showed smoke rising from a scrubby hill near other hills covered with trees.

The agency didn’t mention the cause of the accident, but said that the state Attorney General’s Office is investigating. Civil Protection personnel, soldiers, National Guard officers and police responded to the crash.

Proceso said that the aircraft – reportedly a Learjet 35 – may have been approaching the Cuernavaca airport to land.

The aviation news website Transponder 1200 reported that witnesses suggested that excess speed may have been a factor in the accident.
