The crash took place at about 2030 hrs. between the municipalities of Santa María del Oro, Jalisco, and Jiquilpan, Michoacan. The helicopter was part of the 18th Military Zone.

The helo took off from Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan and was bound for Guadalajara, Jalisco. Witnesses report hearing an explosion just prior to the helo going down.
