The plane reportedly hit the chimney of a home and then the second floor of a building before crashing into a mobile phone shop in a residential area. Local media reported that the passengers were members of the same family, traveling from another town in Rio Grande do Sul state to Sao Paulo.

Gramado, located in a mountainous region, is the most popular tourist destination in Rio Grande do Sul. The incident occurred just days before Christmas, a particularly busy time for the city’s tourists and locals. Earlier this year, Gramado was severely impacted by floods that claimed dozens of lives and dealt a heavy blow to the state's economy.
