"[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane," Lt. Josh Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department tells People. Shumpert was one of the first to arrive on the scene in Congaree, a town outside of Columbia, SC.
"They said they were on fire," adds Shumpert, whose patrol car's dashboard camera caught video of the tragedy, "and that they tackled each other and put each other out."
"When I got there they were on the side of the road," Shumpert tells the magazine. "They were pacing and in shock." "Travis was wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt," he said, adding that Goldstein was wearing shorts or boxers as well.
Doctors for Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, say both are expected to make a full recovery despite the second and third degree burns suffered in Friday night's horrific crash. Barker, a former drummer for the group Blink-182, is close friends with DJ AM.
Investigators have said the Learjet crash may have been caused by a blown tire during takeoff.
The coroner's office in South Carolina confirmed that the aircraft's pilot and co-pilot died from smoke inhalation while the two other passengers were killed by injuries resulting from the impact.
