Hours after a performance, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM were critically injured in a Learjet crash that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.
Officials said that the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest a quarter-mile away on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical but stable condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., on Saturday, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said.
