(CNN) -- A charter plane crashed while attempting to land at a regional airport in southern Minnesota on Thursday morning, killing all eight people aboard, authorities said.

1 of 2 One of the eight died after being taken to a hospital. The victims, whose names weren't immediately released, were six passengers and two crew members, said Shaun LaDue, police chief of Owatonna, Minnesota.

The Raytheon Hawker 800 left Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Thursday morning and crashed off runway 30 at Owatonna, said Elizabeth Cory, spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

The plane's passengers were customers of Owatonna architectural glass manufacturer Viracon, CNN affiliate KARE reported. No Viracon employees were aboard, it said.

KARE said the Hawker's pilot radioed the airport at 9:44 a.m. to say the plane was approaching for a landing. Radar checked it in at 1,600 feet at the time of the call. The crash apparently happened shortly after that, KARE reported.

The plane was owned by charter firm East Coast Jets Inc., according to KARE.
