North Carolina State Highway Patrol spokesman Christopher Knox

The FAA has been on the scene this afternoon and working through their initial phases of an investigation.

We spoke with the NTSB.

They will be arriving early in the morning and then they will pick up the investigation take from there.

The State Highway Patrol will remain throughout the night and as long as it's needed to preserve the evidence in this case.

As you can see, or as you might have heard, that the evidence does span throughout airport property and off airport property.

So we'll be working to

secure that evidence and being in place as long as those federal authorities need us.

But as follow-up details specific to why the crash happened and those details that are compiled a part of that investigation, that will come from the NTSB in the days and weeks and months that follow.

So that's all the details really that I have for you.

That's all we're able to put out this time.
