The plane went through a chain-link fence before coming to rest on the edge of Tennessee Highway 91. Earnhardt and the two pilots were unable to open the emergency exit door over the wing after the plane came to a hard stop, the report said. "As they were attempting to get the rear exit door open, heavy smoke was coming from the lavatory," the report said. Witness Cheryl Campbell told the NTSB in a written statement that she was driving when she saw the rear of the aircraft burst into flames after it crash-landed. I also told him his dog was ok when he asked.”A final report from the NTSB has not been released.
