PHOTO: Plane Crashes Into Fence Along Route 1 In Union County

A small plane crashed into a fence after aborting a takeoff at an airport in Union County Sunday evening, according to media reports.

The plane tried to take off from Linden Airport around 7 p.m. and but instead hit a fence along Route 1, WCBS 880 reported. No injures were reported.

The Linden Airport director said the plane was providing a private flight, but there was no reason given for why the takeoff had to be aborted, according to nj.com.

Paul Dudley, the director, said about 50,000 flights come in and out of the airport every year, though this type of incident hasn’t happened in years, according to the report.

One eyewitness, Mark Tripodi, said he was driving up Route 1 north when he saw the plane bouncing off the runway, hit a fence along Route 1, spin around and come to a stop, according to the report.
