According to the Mirror , the mayor of Santa Cruz Filipe Sousa has said 28 people have died.
The casualties have been described as 11 men and 17 women.
Pictures and video from the scene show the vehicle on its side having crashed onto what looks like the roof of the building.
Firefighters can also be seen carrying people away on stretchers.
A huge cordon is said to be in place, with casualties still being removed from the coach.
