A passenger plane with 62 people on board has crashed in Brazil’s São Paulo state, according to local media reports, writes The Guardian.
The ATR-72 plane operated by airline Voepass Linhas Aéreas was en route from Cascavel, in the state of Parana, to Guarulhos, in São Paulo, website G1 said, citing Voepass.
Voepass said 58 passengers and four crew members were on board.
São Paulo’s state fire brigade confirmed on social media that a plane crashed in the city of Vinhedo, and that it has sent seven crews to the region of the accident.
Video shared on social media showed what appeared to be the plane plunging down into a cluster of trees, followed by a large plume of black smoke.
Brazilian television network GloboNews showed footage of a large area on fire and smoke coming out of an apparent plane fuselage in a residential area full of houses.
