Plane crash at Cross Keys Airport in New Jersey causes ‘mass casualty incident’

A skydiving trip went horribly awry when a small-engine plane crashed at a New Jersey airport, with nearly everyone on board being rushed to the hospital.

The Cessna 208B carrying 15 people went off the end of the runway while leaving Cross Keys Airport in Williamstown on Wednesday around 5:30pm, the FAA told the Daily Mail.

While authorities are still investigating what caused the crash that left three victims in critical condition, an investigator revealed the pilot reported engine issues before it happened.

Horrifying video shows victims being rolled from the scene on stretchers, with victims headed to the Cooper University Hospital in Camden, roughly 20 miles away.

Five medical transport helicopters were also deployed to urgently assist the injured. First responders seen swarming the wooded area near the runaway.

Fourteen people on board were hospitalized in various conditions, 6ABC reported. The remaining person refused medical attention at the scene.

The three critical victims had to be airlifted in, and the other injuries seem to be minor, Andrew Halter with Gloucester County Emergency Management told the outlet.

Before being rescued from the ruins, one passenger was trapped inside the plane as it reportedly leaked about 50 gallons of dangerous jet fuel, according to Channel2Now.
