Yesterday, a private Mexican jet, a Hawker 800XP with registration XA-JMR, crashed on Thursday in Bath Township, Michigan, leaving three people dead after the tragic incident.
The accident occurred around 5:00 p.m. near the intersection of Clark Road and Peacock Road, according to initial reports from local authorities.
Both the FAA and the NTSB have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the crash, though no official explanation has been released yet. Meanwhile, Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Secretariat confirmed that the Consulate in Detroit has activated consular support protocols and is coordinating the repatriation of the victims’ remains.
¿What is known so far about the flight and its possible causes?
Authorities reported that the aircraft lost contact with radar while flying at an altitude of over 14,000 feet. Investigators are currently exploring possible mechanical failures, human error, or adverse weather conditions as potential causes.
As the investigation continues, this tragic event shakes the air relations between Mexico and the United States and raises new questions about safety standards in international private aviation.
