The Federal Aviation Administration later confirmed that two people were aboard a Mistubishi MU-2B when it crashed near Copake. The twin-engine turboprop aircraft was headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, about 15 miles northwest of Copake, the FAA said.

The incident is being investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board. No further information is available at this time. ...read more read less
