MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Three men remained in critical condition at a New Jersey hospital Thursday afternoon and five others were listed as serious, a day after a skydiving plane with 15 people aboard crashed into a wooded area near a small airport.
The single engine Cessna 208B radioed about having engine trouble after takeoff and crashed on landing Wednesday evening near Cross Keys Airport, about 21 miles (34 kilometers) southeast of Philadelphia, authorities said. A initial report posted Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration said the aircraft, with 14 passengers and one crew member, “crashed while returning to the airport after a runway excursion into trees.”
Monroe Township Police Chief John McBride said he was among the first rescuers to arrive at the crash, finding most of the victims “out of the plane and crawling on the ground.” Some were still trying to remove their parachutes.

Progress Update for 2025-26 State Budget
This week marked the deadline to pass the 2025–2026 state budget in Harrisburg. While progress has been made, critical pieces needed to fully fund essential government operations remain under negotiation as work continues toward a final agreement.
The Governor’s $51.5 billion proposal represents a 7.5% increase in state spending—$3.6 billion more than last year—without a clear, long-term plan to address our structural deficit. It relies heavily on optimistic revenue projections while drawing down reserves that are critical to our financial stability.
