SAO PAULO (AP) — A small single-engine plane crashed Friday in a residential neighborhood in Brazil's biggest city, leaving at least two people dead and a dozen injured, firefighters said.
Live images on Globo Television showed the charred remains of the plane that firefighters said hit three houses near the small Campo do Marte airfield. Two cars in front of the building were also smashed.
A Sao Paulo firefighting spokesman told The Associated Press that the bodies of two people were pulled from the wreckage of the six-seat Cessna 210 Centurion.
Spokesman Andre Elias said it wasn't immediately clear if the plane was carrying more than two people.
The plane was headed to the city of Jundiai and crashed shortly after takeoff.
Elias said the 12 injured were rushed to nearby hospitals and that none suffered life-threatening injuries.
Seven of the injured were passers-by that were hit by wreckage from the plane and five were inside the three houses hit.
