The airline Voepass has said there were 58 passengers and 4 crew members on board the flight which crashed in the southern municipality of Vinhedo.
There are no survivors after a plane carrying 62 people plummeted into a residential area in the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil, local authorities have said. It is not clear if any people living in the municipality of Vinhedo were injured after the Voepass aircraft crashed in the area. Footage broadcast by Brazilian TV station GloboNews shows a large area on fire and smoke appearing to billow from a fuselage. Video shared on social media shows the aircraft falling at speed towards the ground.
The airline has not given any indication as to what may have caused the crash. The city hall in Valinhos, a municipality close to Vinhedo, has said there were no survivors. Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been speaking at an event in the south of the country where he said it appeared that all passengers and crew had died. He later asked the crowd to stand and observe a minute of silence for those involved in the crash.
