Skydiving plane goes off New Jersey runway and crashes into woods, sending 15 to hospital
WASHINGTON, July 3, (AP): Fifteen people were taken to the hospital after a skydiving aircraft radioed it was having engine trouble after takeoff and crashed on landing near an airport in southern New Jersey on Wednesday, according to authorities. The single engine Cessna 208B was carrying 15 people when it crashed at about 5:30 p.m. at the Cross Keys Airport, about 21 miles (34 kilometers) southeast of Philadelphia, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. "The plane did try to circle back and attempt a landing we are told but was unsuccessful in that attempt,' Andrew Halter, with Gloucester County Emergency Management, said during a news conference Wednesday night. The injuries ranged from minor to critical and the plane was severely damaged, Halter said. Some of the people on board were covered in jet fuel and had to be decontaminated before being taken to the hospital, he said. "Just the fact that we have 15 people that are still with us here today, some with minor injuries, I think is fantastic and remarkable," he said. Aerial footage of the crashed plane shows it in the woods, with several pieces of debris nearby. Firetrucks and other emergency vehicles surrounded the scene. Three people were being evaluated at Cooper University Hospital's trauma center in Camden, New Jersey, and eight people with less severe injuries were being treated in its emergency department, said Wendy A. Marano, a spokesperson for the hospital. Four other patients also with "minimal injuries' were waiting for further evaluation, she said. She wasn't able to provide the exact nature of the injuries. Members of the hospital's EMS and trauma department were at the crash site, she said. Halter said the aircraft is owned and operated by ARNE Aviation out of Virginia and leased to Skydive Cross Keys. Skydive Cross Keys didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press requesting comment. When asked about the crash, Tracey Sackett, who confirmed she is ARNE Aviation's office manager, said to call the office tomorrow. A person who answered the phone at Cross Keys Airport on Wednesday said he had no information and referred questions to Skydive Cross Keys. The National Transportation Safety Board said in a post on the social platform X that it is investigating the crash. Gov. Phil Murphy said on X that he had been briefed on the crash and that there had been "no fatalities at this time.'

Plane Crash Involving Skydiving Aircraft at Cross Keys Airport in New Jersey
On Wednesday afternoon, a tragic incident occurred at Cross Keys Airport in Monroe Township, New Jersey, when a Cessna 208B plane carrying 15 people crashed shortly after taking off. The crash happened at approximately 5:30 p.m., as the plane went off the end of the runway during the early stages of its flight. According to officials, the aircraft was leased to Skydive Cross Keys, a well-known skydiving company in the region. Initial reports from the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) indicate that the plane had experienced engine trouble prior to the crash, though the exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. Casualties and Medical Response Three people sustained critical injuries and were airlifted to a nearby hospital by helicopter. Gloucester County Emergency Management confirmed that trauma surgeons were on the scene to help triage the victims. At Cooper University Hospital in Camden, three individuals were reported to be in critical condition, while eight others with less severe injuries were being treated in the emergency department. Four additional individuals, with minimal injuries, were in the hospital's waiting room as of Wednesday evening. Emergency Response and Ongoing Investigation Following the crash, emergency teams from various agencies responded quickly to the scene, including local firefighters, paramedics, and the F.A.A. An urgent appeal was made to the public by Gloucester County Emergency Management, urging people to avoid the area due to a 'mass casualty incident' in progress. A news report from Philadelphia's 6abc station showed a chaotic emergency response on a rural road, with victims being loaded onto stretchers and transported to waiting ambulances. Skydive Cross Keys Response Skydive Cross Keys, which operates out of the airport, has been a staple of the Northeast's skydiving community, offering tandem jumps, lessons toward skydiving certification, and solo jumps for licensed divers. The company has yet to comment further on the incident but has assured the public that they are cooperating with the investigation. The crash has left many in the community shaken, and local authorities are continuing to assess the damage and investigate the cause of the plane's failure.
