US EditionBiffle, Family Perish in Plane Crash
The crash killed seven, including Biffle's family and three others, with investigators analyzing cockpit data to determine cause amid ongoing probe.
- On Thursday, December 18, NASCAR legend Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina and their children Emma and Ryder were killed in a crash at Statesville Regional Airport.
- Officials say the aircraft turned back and attempted to land at Statesville Regional Airport, crashing approximately 10 minutes after takeoff while the NTSB confirmed at least one emergency text was sent from an individual on board.
- Early evidence shows the aircraft struck an approach light stanchion about 1,800 feet from the runway, and the NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Part 91 general aviation flight for analysis in Washington, D.C.
- Also killed were pilot Dennis Dutton, his son Jack and NASCAR motorhome driver Craig Wadsworth, and city officials and federal investigators closed Statesville Regional Airport until it reopened Sunday.
- A preliminary report is expected within 30 days, with a final probable-cause report taking 12 to 18 months; investigators do not yet know who occupied the left seat, NTSB says.
