The airline company "Voebas" confirmed in a statement that a plane heading to Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo crashed with 58 passengers and a crew of four on board, while the statement did not mention the cause of the accident.

Firefighting teams confirmed that the plane crashed in the city of Vinhedo, but they did not provide further details, and the fire brigade sent crews to the scene of the accident.

Fire and smoke

The Brazilian television network "Globo News" showed footage of a large burning area and smoke rising from the body of the plane, apparently in a residential area full of houses.

Additional footage on the Globo News website showed the plane drifting vertically downward, spiraling as it fell. At an event in southern Brazil, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva asked the crowd to observe a minute of silence.
