India, April 13 -- At least one person died after a twin-engine Mitsubishi MU-2B aircraft crashed in an open field near Copake, New York, US, on Saturday.

According to media reports, six people were present in the plane when the crash occurred.

At least one person was killed, Columbia County Undersheriff Jacqueline Salvatore was quoted as saying by CBS News in a press conference on Saturday afternoon but could not specify how many other passengers survived.

The plane did not hit any structures on the way down, Salvatore told reporters.

Salvator said the crash site is difficult to access due to muddy conditions.
