A Cessna 401 operated by a local taxi flight company took off from the runway 23 at Hermosillo-General Ignacio Pesqueira Garcia Airport with 5 passengers and 2 crew onboard.
A few senconds later, during the initial climb, the aircraft entered a slight turn to the right but encountered difficulties to gain altitude. Then, the first officer advised ATC that they would return to HMO/MMHO. The ATC operator then coordinated the return maneuver.
Less than a minute later, the ATC operator observed a cloud of smoke in the distance coming from the wrecked aircraft. The ATC operator notified the emergency services. In addition, help was requested from another taxi flight (XB-HRQ) that was about to take off to find the wreckage site.
Eight minutes after the impact, emergency services found the plane completely burned and entangled between power lines that it had impacted during the fall.
Four people were found with deadly injuries at the scene, including the captain. Three other occupants were seriously injured and taken for medical attention, but all died due to the severity of the injuries hours later. A prominent Sonora government official was one of the passengers on board.
