Passenger plane crashes in Brazil's Sao Paulo state

A passenger plane with 62 people on board has crashed in Brazil's Sao Paulo state on Friday, local media reported.

The local firefighters corps confirmed that the plane fell in the city of Vinhedo, but did not offer more details.

Brazil's TV GloboNews showed footage of a large area on fire and smoke coming out of an apparent plane fuselage.


Brazil's airport authority Infraero did not immediately confirm the information after a request from The Associated Press. No local airlines immediately reported one of their planes to be missing.
