Video captures moment plane crashes at Pomona race track

Investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration were in Pomona Monday to investigate a plane crash that injured four people at the Pomona Fairplex a day earlier during a crowded racing event.

Preliminary details regarding the crash, which occurred around 11:10 a.m. Sunday during the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, could be released later in the day, the Orange County Register reported Monday.

The single-engine Piper PA32 Aircraft was apparently trying to land at nearby Brackett Field Airport in La Verne when it crashed near the racetrack, which had thousands in attendance.

A thud could be heard on a video showing the low-flying plane followed by someone in the grandstands saying, “An airplane just crashed.”

The races were delayed as a result of the crash while emergency personnel rushed to survey the scene.

Aerial video from Sky5 on Monday morning showed yellow tape surrounding five vehicles and three trailers involved in the crash.

Somehow, no bystanders were injured, and the four people aboard the plane were rescued with moderate to severe injuries, but none were considered to be life-threatening. No updates on the injuries were available on Monday.

The cause of the crash is being investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
