Dirt track racing legend Scott Bloomquist’s death in a 2024 plane crash likely was caused by “the pilot’s intentional flight into a building as an act of suicide,” according to a report issued this week by the National Transportation Safety Board.

The National Transportation Safety Board is examining a mix of clues and said the aircraft did not have a flight data recorder, which would have provided more information.

The investigation into what led to the fiery crash in the Tierrasanta neighborhood is still underway, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team to assist in the investigation, which is being coordinated between the US and Mexico governments.

Two years later, the railway was shut down indefinitely following a derailment that September, with no injuries reported, and a subsequent safety report by the National Transportation Safety Board.
