Police say that at least five people were taken to the hospital on Wednesday evening after a small skydiving plane went off the end of a runway at an airport in New Jersey.
Gloucester County Emergency Management says there is a plane that has gone down at Williamstown, New Jersey’s Cross Keys Airport.
A spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration said that the accident happened on a Cessna 208B that was carrying 15 people. The administration is looking into it.
A spokesperson for the hospital, Wendy A. Marano, said that five hurt people would be taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey.
People from the hospital’s emergency medical services (EMS) and trauma center went to the scene of the crash, she said. She wasn’t able to say how the injured were doing.
On Wednesday, someone who answered the phone at Cross Keys Airport said he didn’t know anything and told people to call Skydive Cross Keys, a business that does commercial skydiving at the airport.
People are being asked by Gloucester County Emergency Management to stay away from the area.
