Crash Eyewitness: I Heard Them Say, "Oh, My God"
New details are emerging about the plane crash that killed four and left Travis Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein critically injured.
William Owens, a truck driver who witnessed the crash Friday night in Columbia, S.C., recounts the ordeal exclusively to E! News.
Speaking from his Columbia home, Owens says that he was driving in his van to a friend's house down Highway 302, near the Columbia airport, shortly before midnight when he saw "a ball of fire going across the road."
"It ignites—it crashed, in fact—went across the highway and crashed, dumping two guys out onto the highway, and they were on fire, I'm seeing that as I approach, and the plane is burning slightly," Owens tells E! News.
The "two guys" were Barker and Goldstein.
