Newsreader Debora Estrella, 43, has tragically died in a plane crash as she joined the aircraft with the intention to learn to fly.
Estrella, 43, and pilot Bryan Ballesteros were killed when the small plane went into the ground.
It took place by an industrial estate in Garcia shortly after she had confirmed online that she was learning how to fly.
The Mexican TV star shared a photo of the two-seater Cessna she was learning to fly in and wrote: “Guess what”, ahead of her lesson.
Spanish website Infobae reported that the accident occurred at around 6:50pm and the aircraft suddenly crashed near the Pesqueria River.
It added: “The rapid response of Civil Protection Unit 04 and other rescue teams failed to prevent the death toll of two people.”
Debora, a clearly beloved TV presenter at MMTV, would post photos of her at work on a regular basis.
Her last photo from work was posted just before her death, with the presenter writing: “Buenos dias” as she posed in a black dress in the studio with a gleaming smile on her face.
Her followers have since rushed to the comments to share their heartbreak as the news of her death spread.
One user wrote: “We are very sorry for the loss of Debora, a hug to the whole family.” While another said: “Fly high Debora, rest in peace.” A third said: “Not true, tell me it’s not true.”
A fourth person added: “Deb precious you leave us that of you [sic], that beautiful smile that illuminated us all, the whole multimedia company is bewildered by your departure, rest in peace beautiful, Dtb, fly high.”
