A passenger plane crashed into a gated residential community in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state Friday, killing all 62 people aboard and leaving a smoldering wreck, officials and the airline said.
Officials gave no immediate word of any casualties at the site of the crash in the city of Vinhedo, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Sao Paulo, but witnesses at the scene said there were no victims among residents of the neighborhood.
The airline VOEPASS said that its plane, an ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop, was headed for Sao Paulo’s international airport Guarulhos with 57 passengers and 4 crew members aboard when it crashed in Vinhedo. It provided a flight manifest with passenger names, but not their nationalities. A prior statement had said there were 58 passengers.
“The company regrets to inform that all 62 people on board flight 2283 died at the site,”
