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 ofSanta María Coronango,[5]half an hour from the city of Puebla, killing both. In a tweet, PresidentAndrés Manuel López Obradorindicated that Alonso and Moreno Valle were on the downed aircraft.[6]At the time, Moreno Valle was a proportional representation senator.[3]Alonso had become the first femalegovernor of Pueblaonly ten days before she was killed.

A 27 March 2020 report bySecretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT)concluded 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]
