Fifteen people were hospitalized after the crash of a Cessna 208B single-engine aircraft in Gloucester County, New Jersey, USA. This was reported by the Associated Press on July 3.

"Fifteen people were taken to the hospital after a parachute plane radioed about engine problems after takeoff and crashed on landing near an airport in southern New Jersey on Wednesday," the material says.

It is noted that a single-engine Cessna 208B aircraft carrying 15 people crashed at Cross Keys Airport, about 34 km southeast of Philadelphia. The pilot tried to turn the plane around and return for landing, but failed to do so.

According to the agency, the degree of injuries of the victims varies from mild to severe. Some passengers were doused with jet fuel and underwent decontamination before being taken to the hospital. Three of the injured are in the trauma department, eight people with less serious injuries are being treated in the emergency room, and four more are awaiting additional examination.

ABC News, citing data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), reported on July 2 that at least five people were injured in the crash of a Cessna 208B. The emergency was reported at about 17:30 (July 3, 00:30 Moscow time). The publication clarified that the single-engine aircraft had moved off the runway. There were 15 people on board.
