Gustavo Vzquez MontesGustavo Alberto Vzquez Montes (1962 – 24 February 2005) was a Mexican politician. At the time of his death he was serving as the governor of the western state of Colima, representing the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vzquez Montes was born in Tecomn, Colima. After graduating from teacher-training college and entering politics, he served as the mayor of his home town and its representative in the state Congress. He was selected as the PRI's candidate in the 2003 gubernatorial election and, after heated disputes and the annullment of the first round, he was ruled the victor and was invested as Governor on 1 January 2004. On 24 February 2005, while travelling back to state capital Colima, Colima, from Mexico City, his six-seater Westwind 1124 aeroplane developed problems shortly after its 16h15 take-off from Toluca airport and crashed in the municipality of Tzitzio, Michoacn, 70 km to the southeast of Morelia. The governor was killed, along with the pilot and copilot, Germn Ausencia Faubet and Mario Torres Gonzlez; the Colima state secretaries of tourism and finance, Roberto Preciado Cuevas and Luis Ramn Barreda Cedillo; the state's tourism director, Guillermo Daz Zamorano; and local Coparmex president Alejandro Dvila. In the immediate aftermath of the accident, Arnoldo Ochoa Gonzlez was appointed acting governor and an extraordinary election was called for April 2005. See: 2005 Colima state election.
