A small plane carrying three people crashed into a house in upstate New York, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson said.

The Cessna 303 aircraft was headed to Sky Acres Airport in LaGrangeville, New York, when it crashed into a house in Union Vale, New York, a few miles southeast of the airport.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.

New York State Police spokesman Steven Nevel confirmed the crash happened shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday, but could not immediately provide more information.
