Death
Main article: 2018 Puebla helicopter crash

On 24 December 2018, a helicopter carrying Moreno Valle, his wife Martha Erika Alonso Hidalgo, and other PAN politicians from the state crashed in a field near the town of Santa María Coronango,[5] half an hour from the city of Puebla, killing both. In a tweet, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador indicated that Alonso and Moreno Valle were on the downed aircraft.[6] At the time, Moreno Valle was a proportional representation senator.[3]

A report by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) concluded on 27 March 2020, that the helicopter “should not have flown” because of a preexisting problem with a stability system on the helicopter that both the operator and the maintenance crew knew about.[7]
