FAA shares details
from Earnhardt Jr.
plane crash
The Federal Aviation
Administration said in a
statement Friday that the
plane carrying Dale Earn-
hardt Jr. and his family
experienced a “hard land-
ing, bounced, departed
the runway and caught
fire” on Thursday.
Earnhardt Jr., his wife,
Amy, and daughter, Isla,
and two pilots survived
the fiery plane crash at
the Elizabethton Munici-
pal Airport in Tennessee.
The Cessna 680A Citation
Latitude, a 10-seat plane
owned by Earnhardt, ran
off a 5,000-foot runway
before going down a ditch
and through a chain-link
fence.
Earnhardt was taken to
a local hospital for obser-
vation with no serious in-
juries. He has since been
discharged.
Elizabethton fire chief
Barry Carrier confirmed
to USA TODAY Sports
that the plane wrapped
around a fence at the end
of the runway and slid to a
fiery stop in a grassy area
before the Earnhardts, pi-
lots and a dog evacuated
the crash site.
“The first word to come
to my mind is that they
were very lucky,” Carrier
said. “It looks like every-
thing worked in their fa-
vor instead of against
them.”
The airport is located
about 15 miles south of
Bristol Motor Speedway,
site of this weekend’s
NASCAR race. Earnhardt
has been part of NBC
Sports’ NASCAR broad-
cast crew since he retired
from full-time racing at
the end of the 2017 sea-
son, but he will not work
the Bristol race.
Kelly Earnhardt Miller,
general manager of JR
Motorsports and Earn-
hardt’s sister, issued a
statement Friday: “We
want to reiterate our ap-
preciation to the NASCAR
community,
first
re-
sponders, medical staff
and race fans everywhere
for the overwhelming
support in the last 24
hours. Dale, Amy, Isla and
our two pilots are doing
well. We are assisting the
Federal Aviation Admini-
stration and the National
Transportation
Safety
Board in the investigation
and will have no further
comment at this time.”
AP source: Jets lose
LB Williamson for
season with torn ACL
NEW YORK – A person
familiar with the nature of
the injury says New York
Jets linebacker Avery
Williamson has a torn
knee ligament that will
sideline him for the sea-
son.
Williamson injured the
anterior cruciate ligament
in his right knee in the
second quarter of the
team’s 22-10 preseason
win at Atlanta on Thurs-
day night.
An MRI on Friday re-
vealed the nature and se-
verity of the injury, ac-
cording to the source who
spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of ano-
nymity because the team
did not make an an-
nouncement.
