Two people were killed and one was injured after a small aircraft crashed on Wednesday shortly after takeoff in Brazil’s southeastern Sao Paulo state, firefighters said.

The private aircraft was carrying three people when it went down near a recreational club close to the Frank Miloye Milenkovich Airport in the city of Marilia, according to airport operator Rede Voa.

Two people died at the scene, while the third person was rescued and taken for medical treatment at a local hospital, the fire department said.

Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency said the aircraft had valid airworthiness status in the country’s aeronautical registry.

The cause of the crash is being investigated by Brazilian Air Force authorities.
