NASCAR legend and hall of fame nominee Greg Biffle was on a private jet that crashed while landing Thursday morning in Statesville, North Carolina, the state highway patrol has confirmed.
Seven people onboard the Cessna Citation C550 business jet died, Iredell County Chief Deputy Sheriff Bill Hamby told The Epoch Times. Staff at the airport told authorities Biffle was one of the people onboard a plane the former NASCAR driver owned, according to the trooper.
“Greg Biffle was one of those deceased occupants,” a North Carolina State trooper confirmed to media in a press conference Thursday afternoon.
Officials are awaiting medical examiner confirmation for the other names….
