Antron Brown Crash Video
Antron Brown was driving his dragster, when the left rear wheel came off forcing him to crash. The crash is not what caused the woman's death. The dragster went spinning wildly out of control, as he had no way to control the vehicle.
The unidentified woman was standing in the pit area, when a tire came off a car and struck her. She was taken to the hospital, but died shortly after arriving.
The accident left Brown uninjured.
“We’re racers and we race and I’m ok,” Brown said in a statement. “It all happened so quickly and I want to thank the NHRA Safety Safari for being there so quickly to help get me out of the car and also the track medical team for tending to me so quickly.”
NHRA officials are investigating the crash.
