A tragic plane crash occurred in São Paulo, Brazil, on Friday morning, resulting in the deaths of at least two people.
The incident took place around 7:20 a.m. local time along Avenida Marquês in the Barra Funda district.
A small twin-engine Beech F90 King Air aircraft, which had departed Campo de Marte Airport, crashed onto a busy road, striking a bus and causing a fire.
Two passengers on the plane were found dead in the wreckage, with their bodies burned in the aftermath.
Additionally, a motorcyclist and a woman on the bus were injured by flying debris from the explosion and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Four other individuals on the bus suffered minor injuries, but were able to escape the wreckage.
The plane had been en route to Porto Alegre in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The control tower lost contact with the aircraft shortly before the crash occurred.
Emergency teams, including firefighters and traffic personnel, quickly responded to the scene to assist victims.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash. São Paulo’s mayor, Ricardo Nunes, expressed his condolences and assured that support would be provided to the victims and their families.
“We are providing all the support structures to help the victims,” he said on X.
