A small plane crashed Sunday in a Brazilian city popular with tourists, killing several people, local officials said.
Rio Grande do Sul state governor Eduardo Leite said in a statement on X that no passenger survived the crash in the city of Gramado and that the plane could carry nine passengers. Authorities did not immediately say how many passengers or crew were on board.
Brazil’s Civil Protection Agency said the plane hit the chimney of a house and then the second floor of a building before crashing into a shop in a residential area. More than a dozen people lying on the ground were taken to hospitals with injuries including smoke inhalation.
Located in the Serra Gaucha Mountains, Gramado is popular with Brazilian tourists who enjoy the cool weather, hiking spots and traditional architecture.
