Looks like the parking lot? Hopefully the coaches were empty.

The cockpit area of the plane looks pretty fucked hopefully no one was sitting right seat as it looks to have taken a good shot on that side.

Flight was out of apple valley Piper PA32

ABC7 reporting three onboard with minor injuries. Hopefully nothing worse than that.

I read 3 exited on own power, it's in the pits by the top end of the track. This is from the internet.

Not the same information that others are posting...

Now saying all 3 out and ok. Who the F knows.

 

[rrrr]

It appears the absorption of energy by the crushed pickup significantly reduced the severity of the event. The outcome would have been tragic if the fuel tanks had been breached and a post crash fire had ensued.

I hope the injured mend quickly.

ya, news reporting is absolute shit these days. Seems it days before the real, factual info actually gets released.

Did any debris get on the track? How big are delays? On another topic Tony Stewart and Leah had a baby boy. Hope he gets back to track for 1st round. How dare her have a baby during the finals

At least media is consistent….the same as elections and vote tabulation. I hope that all are ok.

Story I heard from an NHRA official was plane lost power and can up short. I believe it crashed in the RV parking area. We wanted to camp there but it was sold out. Bad deal. RIP for those that didn’t make it.
