FAA investigating plane crash near Pomona race track that injured 4
The Federal Aviation Administration was in Pomona Monday to investigate a plane crash that left four people hurt at the Pomona Fairplex a day earlier.
Preliminary details regarding the crash that 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 with thousands in attendance.

A thud could be heard on a video that showed 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 Monday morning showed yellow tape surrounding five vehicles and three trailers that were 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 Monday.
The cause of the crash is part of the investigation being conducted by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
