Difficult Terrain Hinders Emergency Response
Columbia County Undersheriff Jacqueline Salvatore described the crash as fatal but did not confirm how many lives were lost. The aircraft reportedly went down near Two Town Road. Fortunately, there was no reported damage to nearby buildings or infrastructure.
Salvatore noted that weather conditions and the muddy terrain made it challenging for emergency teams to reach the crash site. “It’s in the middle of a field and it’s pretty muddy, so accessibility is difficult,” she said.
Emergency crews, including personnel from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police, and local fire departments, were dispatched after a 911 call was received shortly after noon. However, the identities of those on board have not been released.
NTSB Launches Investigation
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is now leading the investigation into the crash. A team was expected to arrive at the crash location by Saturday evening to begin examining the cause of the incident.
Further updates are awaited as the investigation unfolds.
