Authorities are investigating after a plane carrying six people crashed in a muddy field near Copake, New York, Saturday afternoon.

A Mitsubishi MU-2B headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York, crashed at about 12:15 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Earlier in the day, a Cessna 560XL experienced a hard landing and subsequently slid off the end of the runway at Crossville Memorial Airport in Crossville, Tennessee, at about 8:15 a.m. local time, according to a statement from the FAA. 

Five people were on board, though no injuries or fatalities have been confirmed.

As seen from Pier 40 in New York, police and fire crews from New York and New Jersey, respond to the scene Thursday, where a helicopter went down in the Hudson River between Manhattan and the New Jersey waterfront.

The crashes come days after a Bell 206 L-4 helicopter crashed into the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey, on Thursday — killing all six onboard.

One pilot and five members of a family visiting from Spain, including Siemens executive Agustin Escobar; his wife, Mercè Camprubí Montal; and their three young children, were pulled from the water by divers and pronounced dead.
