Plane Crash Injures Four at NHRA Finals

A single-engine Cessna crashed into a vehicle lot at the Pomona Dragstrip during the NHRA Finals on Sunday, injuring four people onboard. The incident occurred around 11:10 a.m. PT as the plane attempted to land at nearby Brackett Field Airport, striking several vehicles including a motor home and a pickup truck. Despite the crash, no bystanders on the ground were injured, while the four individuals on the plane were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The NHRA confirmed that racing activity was halted for approximately two hours to address the situation, and resumed at 1 p.m. PT. Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the cause of the crash. Eyewitness accounts describe the scene with spilled fluids and significant damage to the vehicles involved.
