According to reports from the ABC affiliate WPVI-TV, those on the plane were allegedly doused in jet fuel.

Some even had to be decontaminated before they were taken to the hospital.

Fourteen people, including the pilot, were taken to the hospital after the aircraft – a Cessna 208B plane – crashed.

It experienced engine trouble as it was trying to climb before smashing into a tree.

The pilot desperately tried to get onto the ground before the crash happened.

Andrew Halter, of the Gloucester County Emergency Management, described the damage to the plane as “extensive.”

Three of the victims were rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.

Eight people had less severe injuries, a Cooper University Hospital spokesperson told The New York Times.

One person on board the aircraft refused to be treated at the scene, according to cops.

Overhead footage from WPVI showed emergency crews rushing to the scene.

An investigation into the cause of the plane crash is underway.

Locals have been left horrified following the crash that happened in Williamstown – located around 24 miles from Philadelphia.

“Some of them planes come so close down to our house that it’s crazy,” Sierra Kelly told WPVI.

“I have kids in there. Who knows if they’re going to crash into our house?”

GCEM officials urged residents to avoid the airfield after receiving reports of the crash.

Skydive Cross Keys is dubbed as the “happiest dropzone on the East Coast,” according to its website.
