NEW YORK, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Twenty people died in Saturday's crash involving a wedding limousine in Schoharie, a town about 160 miles ( or 257 km) north of New York City, police said on Sunday.

The New York State police confirmed the death total but said names of the victims would not be released because their next-of-kin are still being notified, according to a press release by the New York State Police.

Details of the crash were unclear. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending investigators to the site, in front of Apple Barrel Country Store and Cafe.

The Albany Times Union said the limo speeded down a hill and crashed into bystanders outside the store. The New York State Police said they would hold a news conference at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
