A former official in the Clinton and Obama administrations was identified as the passenger killed Friday by air turbulence while flying in a business jet over New England.

Dana Hyde was fatally injured in the accident on board a Bombardier Challenger 300 plane that carried her husband and son, as well as two crew members, The New York Times reported.

The plane was flying from Keene, New Hampshire, to Leesburg, Virginia, but diverted after the incident to a town near Hartford, Connecticut. Hyde was transported to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead, according to the report.
