Two men dead after small plane crashes in western New York

A small plane crashed in western New York on Tuesday afternoon, killing two people, officials said.

The single-engine Cirrus SR-22 was engulfed in flames when it crashed shortly after takeoff from the Jamestown, New York airport, authorities said. Two adult men were on the plane when it crashed. They have not yet been publicly identified. 

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will handle the investigation into the crash. An NTSB investigator is set to arrive at the scene Wednesday morning.
