Two individuals were severely injured in a single-engine plane crash near the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip on Sunday. The crash occurred while fans were gathered for the finals of a championship racing event. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene after a 911 call was made at around 11:10 a.m. The raceway was hosting the National Hot Rod Assn. finals over the weekend, with races being temporarily halted as a result of the incident.
According to Los Angeles County Fire Capt. Sheila Kelliher-Berkoh, the plane crashed while attempting to land at nearby Brackett Field Airport. Three people were transported to local hospitals, with two individuals sustaining critical injuries. The cause of the crash has yet to be determined, and further details about the incident remain unknown at this time.
Photos and videos from the scene depicted emergency crews working in a parking area adjacent to the track, where a pickup truck and other vehicles appeared to be damaged as a result of the crash. The NHRA officials released a statement regarding the incident, expressing condolences to those affected by the crash. An investigation into the crash will likely be conducted to determine the circumstances leading to the accident.
