Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. The Columbia County Sheriff's Office hasn't released details on fatalities or the identities of those involved, but muddy field conditions have hampered access to the site. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is sending a go-team to investigate and will hold a press briefing on Sunday. Copake is located roughly 50 miles south of Albany, near the Massachusetts border.

The investigation is ongoing and further details are expected soon.
