Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein, known as celebrity DJ AM were critically injured after a small Learjet crashed during takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina, late last night.
 

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. According to reports, the crash was fatal - killing four people and critically injuring two others on the small aircraft.
 

Travis and Adam are both said to be listed in critical condition at the Joseph Stills Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia.
 

According to PEOPLE, four others on the plane were killed: pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad; Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles.


Barker was married to former Playboy Playmate Shanna Moakler from 2004 until earlier this year. They have two children: son Landon, 4, and daughter Alabama, 2. 
 

Shanna has rushed as soon as she heard about the plane crash to be by his side in Georgia.
 

“Shanna flew out this morning, and I am going to L.A. to be with the children so that she can devote time to Travis,” says Gail Moakler, Shanna’s mother.
