A Voepass ATR 72-500, registered as PS-VPB, crashed near São Paulo, Brazil today while operating flight 2Z-2283 from Cascavel to São Paulo Guarulhos Airport. The aircraft was carrying 62 people on board, including 58 passengers and four crew members.

The incident occurred during the aircraft’s initial approach at an altitude of 17,000 feet. According to unverified video footage circulating on social media, the aircraft appeared to spin out of control in a left-hand spiral before crashing into a residential area in the Recanto Florido complex, Vinhedo, approximately seven nautical miles southeast of Viracopos Airport and 40 nautical miles northwest of its intended destination, Guarulhos Airport.

The crash took place at around 1:22 p.m. local time and the aircraft reportedly broke apart upon impact before bursting into flames. Military Police were alerted to the crash six minutes later. Hospitals in the nearby cities of Vinhedo and Valinhos were placed on high alert to receive any potential survivors, although the status of those on board remains unconfirmed.
