A more comprehensive report in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-crash-durango

Eighty-five people were injured – some seriously – but José Rosas Aispuro, the governor of Durango state, said there were no fatalities among the 97 adults, two children and four crew members on board ... A spokesman for the Durango state health ministry said two of the victims were in critical condition.
Aispuro later said at a press conference that information he had received suggested that “after the plane had taken off, suddenly it was hit by a gust of wind that made it go down briskly and touch the ground with its left wing, detaching its two engines.“The aircraft was projected off of the runway … and fell approximately 300 metres [away].
