William Owens was driving down Highway 302 when he said he saw a fireball go across the road.
"I didn't know what I had seen -- it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer though I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet," Owens said.
Owens then described what he saw as he tried to make it to the wreckage.
"It's in flames and the fuel is running across the road and I had to cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped on the highway," Owens said.
Owens said the two men were running around and stripping down to extinguish themselves. He then asked the men if there was anyone else on board the plane and they said four more were with them.
"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," Owens said.
The Five Point Association has released a statement saying that they are "deeply saddened by this event and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's and their families."
The National Transportation Safety Board has scheduled a news conference for 11:30am.
The airport will be closed until 12pm according to officials.
Autopsies are currently being performed to confirm the identity of the four who died in the crash.
