Overview
- A small Aerus aircraft operating flight ZV165 (registration XA-RFD) made a precautionary emergency landing about 2.5 nautical miles north of Monterrey airport near Pesquería after reporting a problem on approach.
- Protección Civil and local emergency teams confirmed three people were hurt and taken to Doctor’s Hospital East for treatment; authorities later identified them as Diego Elías Galván Maña, Ingrid Valenzuela Martínez and Enrique Berra Mellado.
- A passenger, Ingrid Valenzuela, shared video from the scene showing the damaged plane and the immediate rescue effort while she awaited help, and she was later seen receiving care in an ambulance.
- Officials cordoned the site and aviation investigators began on-scene work with early statements from local civil protection pointing to a suspected mechanical issue, and Mexico’s aviation agency has opened a formal inquiry.
- Beyond immediate medical care for the three occupants, the incident will focus regulators on engine and maintenance records for the Cessna Grand Caravan EX involved and could prompt tighter oversight of small regional operations.
