Barker was taken to the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA, and is said to be critically injured. The pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and co-pilot, James Bland, were killed in the crash, as was Barker’s assistant Chris “Little Chris” Baker and Charles Still of Los Angeles, California.
Kathleen Bergen, the Federal Aviation Administration’s spokeswoman, said the jet was taking off at 11:53pm on Friday and that air traffic controllers reported that they saw sparks. The plane then went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.
Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert in Columbia on Friday night.
