BREAKING: Passenger plane carrying 62 people crashes in Brazil

A plane carrying 58 passengers and four crew members has crashed in Brazil.

The plane crash in Brazil happened in a residential area just outside Vinhedo, Sao Paulo state.

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, when it crashed on Friday afternoon.

According to the Flight Radar website, the plane was traveling at 17,000 feet before plunging 4,000 feet in two minutes, and then its GPS signal was lost.

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.

Another clip showed flames and smoke coming from the plane fuselage where it had struck into the side of a house. Burning debris and at least one body could be seen strewn across the gardens of a residential area, while emergency vehicles arrived.

All passengers on board are believed to be dead.
