A plane crashes near the Ponoma Dragstrip during a racing event, injuring at least three

A single-engine plane crashed at a California racetrack on Sunday, injuring at least three people and disrupting drag racing.

The crash was reported at the Pomona Dragstrip shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday. At the time the venue hosted the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Drag Racing finals.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department reported the incident on X, noting that at least three people suffered “moderate to severe injuries.”

“At 11:10 AM #LACoFD units responded to one engine down,” the post said on social media. “3 passengers were taken to local hospitals with serious injuries.”
