85 injured, 2 critically, after the Aeromexico air accidents at the airport, authorities say.

According to Aeromexico and the governor of Durango, no deaths were reported after the accident.

Flight 2431 took off Tuesday afternoon at General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, in the state of Durango, in northwestern Mexico, when it crashed, according to Durango state governor José Rosas Aispuro Torres.

"It is confirmed that there were no deaths after the accident of the Aeroméxico 2431 flight," wrote Aispuro Torres on Twitter. "At this moment on behalf of the cabinet, led by Coordinator Rosario Castro, to attend to the injured and cooperate with the airport authorities with what has happened."

Two passengers were seriously injured, Fernando Ríos, spokesman for the State Coordination of Civil Protection of Durango, told Mexican television.

The governor of Durango said a gust of wind hit the plane shortly after takeoff, prompting the plane to slow down and hit the ground with its left wing, The Associated Press reported. The plane skidded in a field horizontally, allowing the escape slides to activate, freeing passengers and crew before they caught fire, the governor told the AP.

The pilot of the plane is in serious condition with burns, he said.

"[We] should not have flown, brother," passenger Juan Rivera told ABC News. "We started to increase speed and then he started to get stronger, he tried to improve, then he went down, that happened like three times, brother, and then, the third time we bounced we hit like a barrier."

All those aboard the plane have been sent to local hospitals, said a spokesman for Civil Protection of Durango. Some survivors were able to get away from the crash to a nearby road.

"The scene that we can see here is approximately 1 kilometer from the end of the runway, we can say that the plane could not take off at the moment it was forced to land, we do not know if it was a mechanical accident. of Civil Protection of Durango, Alejandro Cardoza, on Mexican television.
