At least six people have been killed after a helicopter carrying a family, two adults and three children, who were reportedly from Spain, crashed into the Hudson river on Thursday afternoon — according to the Associated Press.

The sixth death was that of the helicopter pilot.

Officials with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) confirmed that a helicopter was in the river as of 3:40 p.m. local time.

“Due to a helicopter crash in the Hudson River in the vicinity of the West Side Highway and Spring Street, expect emergency vehicles and traffic delays in the surrounding areas,” according to a statement from the NYPD.

In addition to the Spanish family of five, the pilot’s body was also found inside.

Witnesses informed the press that they observed the helicopter “split in half” before it crashed near Pier 40. Additionally, the aircraft was reportedly emitting a distinct “thudding” noise prior to its descent.

“I heard a loud snap … I looked over … and I could see the helicopter falling on its side and splashing into the water,” an unnamed witness told ABC7. “I didn’t see anyone come out.”

Currently, it remains uncertain whether the helicopter was operated for tourism purposes or privately owned. The cause of the crash has yet to be determined, as investigations are still in their early stages.

Rescue and recovery operations are still ongoing.

Online videos showed the helicopter sinking into the river as emergency teams rushed to the scene.

The chopper appeared to be a “N216MH – a Bell 206L-4,” according to Flight Radar.

More than 32 people have been killed in helicopter crashes in New York City since 1977.
