Jack Roush Hospitalized After Plane Crash

Jack Roush Hospitalized After Plane Crash

Posted on 28. Jul, 2010 by in News

Jack Roush, co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing and chairman of ROUSH® Enterprises, was hospitalized yesterday, following a plane crash at Wittman Regional Airport in OshKosh, Wisconsin.

While trying to land his Hawker Beechcraft Premier jet, Roush crashed on the Wittman Air Field in Wisconsin around 6:15pm local time. He was traveling to visit the 2010 Experimental Aircraft Association’s AirVenture show this week, to unveil and auction off the one-of-a-kind SR-71 “Blackbird” Ford Mustang. This Mustang was a joint venture project between Jack Roush, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company.

After being rushed to a local hospital, Dr. Kevin Wasco reported that Roush is, “in serious but stable condition. His injuries are not life threatening.”

We hope that Roush makes a speedy recovery. This is the second airplane crash Jack Roush has been involved in. His personal jet crashed in a body of water located near Talladega, Alabama in 2002.

    I know he has at least one P-51 Mustang, anyone know if he was that plane or something else?

    He was not in a P-51 Mustang. He was flying out to attend a trade show.

    He is a lucky man.

    This is not the first time…..

    On April 20th, 2002, Roush almost died when the Aircam he was piloting went down in Troy, Alabama. Roush was underwater, upside down, and unconscious, when retired Marine Larry Hicks pulled him to safety. Hicks was able to save Roush by administering emergency CPR.
