A small plane has crashed into an urban center in the southern Brazilian city of Gramado, killing all 10 people on board and injuring over a dozen more on the ground, according to Brazilian authorities.

The plane slammed into the structure of a building under construction and fell into a furniture store, injuring 17 other people.

The Civil Defence Agency said the aircraft hit the chimney of the home and then the second floor of a building before crashing into a mobile phone shop in a largely residential neighbourhood of Gramado.
