One of the black boxes from the plane crash that killed former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family was found, the NTSB said during a news briefing Friday afternoon.

The black box from the Cessna C550 is en route to Washington D.C., where it will be inspected.

NTSB officials also shared some additional details on the moments before the Thursday morning crash. The aircraft reportedly departed a runway at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina 10 minutes before the accident, then made a left turn, followed by another left turn back toward the airport about five minutes into the flight.

"The initial point of impact was a runway light stanchion located about 1,800 feet from the runway threshold," said Senior Air Safety Investigator Dan Baker. "The airplane subsequently impacted trees, two other runway light stanchions and the airport perimeter fence short of the runway threshold before coming to rest near the runway threshold."

The aircraft crashed at about 10:15 a.m. while trying to land back on the runway, said Michael Graham, an NTSB board member.
