NASCAR team owner Jack Roush was seriously injured in an airplane crash in Wisconsin Tuesday night.

According to Roush Fenway Racing Geoff Smith, Roush was in serious but stable condition following the crash. "There are injuries. Possible surgery, but he walked out of the plane," Smith said, in a text message to the Associated Press. Smith confirmed that the plane belonged to Roush, and he sustained facial lacerations in the crash.

According to the Experimental Aircraft Association, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department confirmed that only two people were on board the plane, Roush and a friend, Brenda Stickland of Plymouth, Michigan.

A statement regarding the crash was posted on the EAA website. "Each exited the aircraft following the accident," the statement said. "Both were transported to local hospitals, with Roush in serious but stable condition and Strickland with non-life threatening injuries. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the accident."

Last week, a glitch at the Atlanta Federal Aviation Administration center caused a large number of flight delays nationwide. The U.S. flight system was unable to register new flight plans, causing hundreds of planes to stay grounded as the Salt Lake City location struggled to pick up the slack. Fortunately, this computer glitch did not cause any injuries; however, the failure of the computer system revealed that the United States' flight  system is outdated. According to FAA representatives, the problem occured when new software was being loaded onto the computers at the Atlanta center. The vice president of operations and safety for the Air Transportation Association of America, Basil Barimo, noted that the real problem is that the FAA is still using outdated technology that was developed in the 1940s. Barimo supports a $15 billion or more upgrade of the system and hopes to see it completed in the next 20 years. While no one was injured as a result of this major glitch, a more serious glitch could have been responsible for the misdirection of hundreds, if not thousands, of planes. Aviation accidents are incredibly dangerous, given the size and speed of the aircrafts.
