A plane attempting to make an emergency landing at an airport in northeastern Ohio crashed, resulting in the deaths of all three people on board, authorities confirmed.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported that the twin-engine Beechcraft 60 went down near the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport around 6:45 p.m. on Friday.

Shortly after 7 p.m., the Ohio State Highway Patrol post in Trumbull County was notified of the incident. The crash, located just north of the airport, claimed the lives of the pilot and two passengers. Official names will be released following family notifications.

Anthony Trevena, executive director of the Western Reserve Port Authority, informed WKBN-TV that the crash ensued after an unscheduled emergency landing attempt by an aircraft not affiliated with the air reserve station at the airport. Mechanical failure is a suspected cause, according to the station.

The National Transportation Safety Board will be carrying out an investigation, the FAA stated in a formal announcement.
