BBC report
Nobody killed according to the beeb: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-45027112
"The crash happened 10km (six miles) from the airport just after take-off." so doesn't sound like an overrun...

interesting...the passenger states it was a high speed abort....the aircraft was at high speed when it went beyond the fence and kept going beyond the airport boundary.
very fortunate

400 yards
The current Wall Street Journal story is posted here (but may be firewalled)

It asserts the the aircraft came to rest within airport grounds about 400 meters from the end of the runway. That sounds like a high-speed abort to me if accurate.
Regarding passenger and crew condition, the current New York Times article (also may be firewalled):
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/w...av=bottom-well
Asserts that 80 people are under hospital treatment, with 12 of the 18 at just one hospital listed in critical condition.
