(CNN) An Aeromexico flight carrying 103 people crashed just after taking off from an airport in northern Mexico, forcing passengers to escape via the emergency slides before the aircraft went up in flames. No one died. 
 
 Dozens were injured, Durango state officials said, and it appears that a strong wind brought down Flight 2431. 
 
 "The control tower noticed strong wind currents, and this could have caused the accident," Durango Gov. Jose Aispuro said Tuesday night in a news conference. 
 
 The plane was en route Tuesday from Durango to Mexico City when it rapidly descended after takeoff, airline and state officials said. 
 
 Rescue crews flock to the remains of the airplane just beyond the runway. 
 
 The left wing of the twin-engine jet initially touched the ground, causing the plane to lose both engines. The plane then skidded off the runway at General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, stopping about 300 meters (1,000 feet) away, Aispuro said.

 MEXICO CITY (AP) — An Aeromexico jetliner crashed after taking off in the northern state of Durango on Tuesday, but the state's governor said there were no deaths and another official said 37 people had minor injuries. 
 
 The civil defense office of Durango state said the plane came down in a field near the airport for the state capital, also named Durango. 
 
 Israel Solano Mejia, director of the city's civil defense agency, told Foro TV that the plane "made it off the ground, but fell nose-first" just a few hundred yards from the end of the runway. 
 
 "The nose took the hit. The most seriously injured is the pilot," Solano Mejia said. However, he said, "the majority of passengers left (the plane) under their own power" and only 37 suffered slight injuries. 
 
 Earlier, Durango Gov. Jose Aispuro wrote in his Twitter account that "it is confirmed there were no fatalities in the accident." 
 
 Gerardo Ruiz Eparza, head of Mexico's Transport Department, said there were 97 passengers and four crew members aboard the Embraer 190. The plane has a capacity of 100 passengers. 
 
 Officials and witnesses differed on whether the plane either fell shortly after takeoff or ran off the runway without really gaining altitude. But they agreed the plane was trying to take off during a storm. 
 
 The state civil defense office published photos of a burning but relatively intact plane lying on its belly in a field. Ambulances lined up at the accident site to ferry the injured to local hospitals. 
 
 The federal Transport Department office said in a press statement that the airplane "suffered an accident moments after takeoff," but gave no information on the possible cause. 
 
 Ruiz Esparza told the Milenio television news channel that "it was a big accident, the plane caught fire ... there was a very strong storm at the time of takeoff." 
 
 Aeromexico said the plane was on a flight from Durango to Mexico City. 
 
 The web site Planespotters.net said the Brazilian-made medium-range Embraer 190 was about 10 years old and had seen service with two other airlines before joining the Aeromexico fleet.

Officials said the crash occurred in a field near the state capital's airport, Guadalupe Victoria International Airport; published photos show the smoking plane lying on its belly in the field, apparently relatively intact.
