Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM, the turntable star once engaged to Nicole Richie, are the only survivors of a late-night Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed the other four onboard.
Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, were critically injured and taken to the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., according to hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits. Barker arrived by ground transportation while DJ AM had to be airlifted to the hospital.
The four victims have been identified by the Lexington County Deputy Coroner. They are pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim, Calif.; her copilot, James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; Barker's assistant, Chris "Little Chris" Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif.; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles, Calif.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says the jet was taking off at 11:53 p.m. on Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. She says the plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.
The Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, Calif.
Barker and AM blend drum beats and dance beats under the name TRVSDJ-AM, and had just finished playing a free T-Mobile concert in Columbia with Gavin DeGraw and former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell.
Both were also part of the house band at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
