AT least 14 people have been injured after a skydiving plane crashed.
The crash, which happened at Cross Keys Airport in New Jersey, has been declared a mass casualty incident.
Victims on board the plane were reportedly covered in jet fuel, as reported by the ABC affiliate WPVI-TV.
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.
