Crash in Gramado kills all passengers and crew onboard, with more than a dozen people also injured on the ground

A small plane crashed into a Brazilian town popular with tourists on Sunday, killing all 10 passengers on board and injuring more than a dozen people on the ground, Brazil’s Civil Defense Agency said.

In a post on X, the agency said the plane hit the chimney of a home and then the second floor of a nearby building before crashing into a mobile phone shop in a largely residential neighbourhood of Gramado. More than a dozen people who were on the ground were taken to hospital with injuries including smoke inhalation. Two were said to be in critical condition.
