EAGLESWOOD, N.J -- Investigators continue to probe a deadly small plane crash in southern Ocean County Saturday.

Two men died and two others were seriously hurt when the plane went down just before 4 p.m. near Eagles Nest Airport in Eagleswood Township, about 25 miles north of Atlantic City.

State police say two men were pronounced dead at the scene, while the other two on board, a man and a woman, were flown by helicopter to a nearby hospital. The man has said he will be okay. The woman, however, is in critical condition.

The Cessna 337 Skymaster was registered to a Massachusetts man, identified as John Ambroult. He was the plane's pilot. The names of the others on board haven't been disclosed.

The plane had taken off from Millville Airport in Cumberland County about an hour before the crash occurred.

Stephen Williams, Director of Airports for the Delaware River and Bay Authority, which operates the Millville facility, says the plane was flying as part of a federal study of coastal birds and wind currents along the Jersey Shore.
