MARABA PAULISTA, BRAZIL (BNO NEWS) -- Four people were killed on Saturday evening when a small plane crashed into a farm in southern Brazil during bad weather, police said on Sunday. There were no survivors.

The accident happened at around 8.30 p.m. local time when a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft crashed into a farm in Maraba Paulista, a municipality in the southern state of Sao Paulo. Police said the aircraft exploded upon impact.

The four people on board the aircraft were identified as a 51-year-old pilot, his 12-year-old son, his 19-year-old daughter, and a 23-year-old woman who was not a family member. They were heading to an airport in Campinas.

Police said the small aircraft went down during heavy rains although it was not immediately known if it caused the accident. Investigators arrived at the scene on Sunday to determine the cause of the crash, which caused no casualties on the ground.

In early August, eight people were killed when a C-98A Grand Caravan plane belonging to the Brazilian Air Force crashed in southern Brazil. It followed an accident a month earlier when sixteen people were killed when a jet flying for airline Noar Linhas Aereas crashed in northeastern Brazil.

In July 2007, nearly 200 people were killed when TAM Airlines Flight 3054 crashed upon landing in Sao Paulo. It remains the deadliest ever aviation accident in Latin America history.
