The flight's pilot is among those injured and is in serious condition with burns, according to Aispuro Torres.
Another person injured in the incident was Rev. Esequiel Sanchez, director of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, according to a statement from the Archdiocese of Chicago. He was \"alert and resting,\" the diocese said, adding, \"We pray for Fr. Sanchez and everyone affected by this plane crash.\"
Aeromexico, the Mexican airline operating the flight, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday that it was aware of an \"accident\" in Durango.
