Investigation underway after deadly plane crash in upstate NY

An inquiry is currently being conducted following a tragic incident where a twin-engine aircraft with six occupants crashed in a rural area of Copake, New York on Saturday. The Mitsubishi MU-2B-40 airplane went down in an open field en route to Columbia County Airport. Unfortunately, all individuals onboard are presumed to have perished in the crash, according to an unnamed official familiar with the matter. Various agencies, including the FAA and New York State Police, swiftly responded to the scene along with the NTSB overseeing the investigation. Due to muddy conditions caused by inclement weather, emergency personnel faced challenges accessing the crash site. Authorities are urging witnesses or those with information to contact the Columbia County Sheriff's Office for assistance. Further updates are anticipated later on Sunday.
