Plane Skids Off Runway At Monmouth Executive Airport In Wall

WALL, NJ — A small plane skidded off a runway at the Monmouth Executive Airport early Wednesday morning, damaging the plane but causing no injuries, police said.

The crash happened just before 12:30 a.m. at the airport at 1717 Route 34 in Wall. The fixed wing multi-engine plane had landed on the runway, but slid off the end onto a hill.

The five people on board — two pilots and three passengers — were able to get off the plane without injuries, Capt. Greg Carpino said. The extent of the damage to the plane is still being determined, he said.

Photos posted to Facebook show the plane sitting on the hill and it appears to be mostly intact.

A woman who answered the phone at Monmouth Executive Airport on Wednesday morning said she had nothing to say and hung up.

Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are handling the investigation.

Wall Township Emergency Medical Services, Glendola Fire Department and the Monmouth County Hazardous Materials Unit all responded to the scene to assist, Carpino said.
