You have a link here in spanish.. and a picture of the plane. I'm not able to tell you the company of the plane. It's supposed to be Air Comet but this is not the right livery of the company on the picture..

Hola,
news translation:
air plus md83, 183pax(no mention crew?), suffered a possible computer failure just after take off. Personnel asked quotes that engines where working only alternatively -they believe software powering one engine at a time...very difficult to control plane and this made several 180 turns until crew regained control and landed.
It's all taken from the newsflash so it'll be as reliable as the journo got it :rolleyes:
Good job from the crew, hats off.
