Fourteen people were killed Friday after a Mexican Navy helicopter crashed in Sinaloa, navy officials said in a statement. Mexico's Navy said a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in the coastal city of Los Mochis, but said it's not fully clear what happened.
Fifteen people were transported as a result of the crash, 14 of whom died, the navy said. One person is receiving medical attention.
The Navy said there is no information suggesting the crash was related to the Friday capture of infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero. A U.S. official tracking the raid told CBS News that the crash was linked to the operation, but said Quintero was not on board.
