Ron Lukezic was involved in a plane crash but survived.
Ron Lukezic, an Austin, Texas businessman, experienced a harrowing event when the private plane he was traveling in crashed. On December 3, 2003, Lukezic was on board a Cessna Citation jet along with two pilots when the aircraft went down shortly after takeoff from Atlanta’s Fulton County Airport. The plane was en route to Gillespie County Airport in Fredericksburg, Texas.
The crash was attributed to engine failure. The pilots attempted an emergency landing but the jet hit a power line and crashed into a wooded area near a residential neighborhood. Miraculously, all three individuals on board survived the impact. Ron Lukezic and the pilots were able to exit the wreckage before the plane burst into flames.
The survivors were transported to a local hospital with injuries, but none were life-threatening. The incident was investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which later released a report detailing the causes and circumstances of the crash. Ron Lukezic’s survival was considered remarkable given the severity of the crash, and the incident received considerable media attention due to the dramatic nature of the event and the fortunate outcome for those involved.
