Mass. Man Killed In N.J. Plane Crash

EAGLESWOOD, N.J. (WBZ) ― A Massachusetts man died in a plane crash near the New Jersey Shore on Saturday.

John Ambroult, 60, of Eastham was killed when the plane he was flying crashed in a heavily wooded area near a small airport in southern Ocean County around 4 p.m.

Stephen Claussen, 41, of Seattle was also killed in the crash. Two other passengers on board the plane were injured.

Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration said the cause of the crash is still not known.
