WILLIAMSTOWN, N.J. (WPHL) — On Wednesday evening, a small skydiving plane veered off the runway at a New Jersey airport, leading to at least five individuals being hospitalized, as reported by authorities.

Gloucester County Emergency Management is reporting a downed aircraft at the Cross Keys Airport in Williamstown, New Jersey.

The plane involved was a Cessna 208B with 15 passengers, as stated by a spokesperson from the Federal Aviation Administration, which is currently conducting an investigation.

According to Wendy A. Marano, a spokesperson for Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, the five injured individuals are anticipated to be taken to their facility for treatment.
