No Injuries After Business Jet Veers off Runway at N.J. Airport
A jet skidded off the runway Saturday at the Monmouth Jet Center airport, Wall Township police said in a Facebook post. No one was injured in the incident, police said.
The business jet, a Cessna Citation X, “left the runway upon landing,” police said in the post. It “veered off the left side of Runway 32 after landing and came to a stop on an adjacent taxiway,” the FAA said in a brief statement.
All occupants made it out of the plane and no injuries were reported, officials said. Authorities did not say how many people were onboard.
Wall Township Police and Glendora Fire Company were on the scene of the incident, police said at about 9 p.m. The airport remained closed as the landing was investigated.
A person who answered the phone at the airport, previously known as Monmouth Executive Airport, Saturday night declined to comment on the incident.
Saturday saw the state walloped with rain, thunderstorms and high winds. Officials did not comment on whether the weather was a factor in the skid.
