The airline VoePass confirmed in a statement on Friday that a plane heading to Sao Paulo’s international airport Guarulhos crashed with 58 passengers and four crew members aboard.

The statement did not say what caused the accident.

Sao Paulo’s state ***** brigade confirmed on social media that a plane crashed in Vinhedo and that it has sent seven crews to the region of the accident.

Brazilian television network GloboNews showed footage of a large area on ***** and smoke coming out of an apparent plane fuselage in a residential area full of houses.

At an event in southern Brazil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva asked the crowd to stand and observe a minute of silence as he shared the news.

He said that it appeared that all passengers and crew aboard had *****, without elaborating as to how that information had been obtained.
