Travis Barker, DJ AM Critically Injured in Plane Crash

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injured Friday night when a plane crashed while departing from a Columbia, South Carolina airport. Four people on board were killed.

NBC News reported that Barker was being treated at a burn center in Augusta, Georgia. DJ AM (real name Adam Goldstein) was also taken to the hospital in critical condition.

According to CNN, a witness saw two men ejected from the plane on impact and they were on fire, but patting each other to put out the flames.

Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed, ABC News reported. Two other victims have no yet been named. According to MTV, Barker's assistant, Chris "Little Chris" Baker, 29, was killed.

Barker and DJ AM played a free show in Columbia Friday night, along with Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw. Farrell's manager confirmed with MTV that Farrell was not on the plane, which was set to take off after the concert. An airport official told CNN that the Learjet didn't take off, but crashed through a fence, crossed a road and came to a stop.
