The twin-engine turboprop plane, Flight 2283, departed from Cascavel in the state of Parana and was headed to São Paulo when it lost signal shortly before 1:30 p.m. local time.

The plane hit multiple houses in the residential area, according to Brazil's Civil Defense, causing significant damage and destruction. Emergency services were quickly deployed to the scene, with firefighters and paramedics working to rescue anyone who may have survived the crash.

Airline Voepass released a statement saying there is no confirmation on how the accident occurred or the current situation of those on board. The company said it is working with authorities to investigate the cause of the crash and provide support to the families of those affected.
