Fire crews in New Jersey are working to extinguish a fire in Lacey Township after a small aircraft crashed in a wooded area early Sunday.
The FAA said that a single-engine Cirrus SR22 crashed in a wooded area in Toms River, New Jersey, around 2:30 a.m. and only the pilot was on board.
The crash, a source has confirmed, occurred in a secluded area west of Miller Air Park at Lacey Road off Mule Road. It is not known if the pilot, who has not yet been identified, issued a mayday call prior to the crash. Officials initially said as much as 20 acres of woodland in that area was set afire by the crash. That fire grew steadily Sunday morning.
