A small aircraft crash in northern Mexico claimed the lives of television presenter Débora Estrella and her flight instructor over the weekend, according to local authorities, as reported by The New York Post.

The accident occurred on Saturday in García, a municipality in the northeastern state of Nuevo León. Officials confirmed that the plane went down in the Parque Industrial Ciudad Mitras shortly after takeoff.

Video captured from the ground shows the aircraft flying at a low altitude before plummeting rapidly and striking the ground. Both Estrella, 43, and her instructor, identified as Bryan Leonardo Ballesteros Argueta, were killed instantly.

Estrella was best known as a presenter on Teledario Matutino, a Mexican morning news program. Hours before the crash, she shared a post on Instagram from Aeropuerto Internacional del Norte in Apodaca, where the lesson began.

The General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics confirmed that an investigation has been launched into the cause of the crash. The state prosecutor’s office is also conducting its own inquiry.

Authorities have not yet released information on whether mechanical failure, weather conditions, or pilot error contributed to the fatal incident.
