The WSJ has this from a local reporter:


The moment the helicopter touched down it lost control, it slid—like it skidded—and it hit some vehicles that were stationed in the area,” he told a Mexican television news program. “In that moment, you couldn’t see anything.

Based on the rectangular stabilator and the flir on the front, I'd say it was an S70M. Possibly completed at the Hawkworks in NY.

One of the fairly new (less than 5 years old) UH-60M's of the Mexican Navy.
