Two people killed in a deadly plane crash Sunday in central New Jersey have been identified as a New Jersey man and a Pennsylvania woman, according to authorities.
Gerald Budge, 59, of Robbinsville, New Jersey, and Karen Lowe, 52, of Telford Pennsylvania died in the crash at an airport in the Pittstown section of Alexandria.
A 9-1-1 call came in about 12:30 p.m. for a report of an accident at Sky Manor Airport, according to Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns, III.
State police troopers from the Kingwood barracks and Quakertown Fire and Rescue reported to the scene, about a half mile southwest of the airport's runway at Sky Manor and Oak Summit roads, Kearns released in a statement.
“Our condolences go out to the families of the victims. I commend the quick response of our first responders and their continued service to the community,” Kearns added.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash.
