At least one person has died after a plane carrying six people crashed in New York State. The twin engined aircraft came down  in a dmuddy field about 50 miles south of the state capital Albany on Saturday (April 12).

The US Federal Aviation Administration said the Mitsubishi MU-2B was headed to Columbia County Airport near Hudson, but crashed near Copake.

Columbia County Sheriff's Office responded to a call at about midday US time (5pm GMT), according to Undersheriff Jacqueline Salvatore.

Ms Salvatore, speaking at a press conference near the scene of the crash, said: "It's in the middle of a field and it's pretty muddy, so accesibility is difficult."

The US National Transportation Safety Board said it had sent an investigation team which was expected to arrive on Saturday night.
