A passenger plane carrying 62 people has crashed in Brazil.

The Voepass airline flight was flying from Cascavel, in Parana to Guarulhos, in Sao Paulo.

Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has said it 'appears' all the passengers on the flight have died in the crash.

“I would like everyone to stand up so that we can observe a minute of silence because a plane has just crashed in the city of Vinhedo, in São Paulo, with 58 passengers and four crew members and it appears they all died,” he said, in a video shared on Twitter, as per CNN.

However, a statement by Voepass said there was 'still no confirmation of how the accident occurred or the current situation of the people on board'.

Footage of the awful incident has since circulated online, with one video being broadcast on Brazilian television network GloboNews showing an area on fire and dark smoke coming from what looks to be an aircraft.

Social media has also been flooded with footage of an aircraft descending at speed.

The plane is believed to have 58 passengers and four crew members on board.

Sao Paulo's fire brigade has since confirmed the aircraft crashed in a residential area of Vinhedo, which is home to over 80,000 people.

Emergency services have since rushed to the city, though it remains unclear if anyone has been injured in Vinhedo.
