COMMERCE - A drag racer who crashed at Atlanta Dragway died of his injuries early Sunday. <br>
<br>
Jerry Gannon, 50, of Franklin Furnace, Ohio, was driving a jet-powered Funny Car on Saturday when his car hit a wall, then spun around and hit another wall before flipping and bursting into flames. <br>
<br>
Track officials told Atlanta TV station WAGA that their fire truck hose snapped off and got caught on an ambulance tire as they responded. <br>
<br>
But they also said the flames were so intense, little could be done to put them out. <br>
<br>
Gannon suffered burns over 90 percent of his body. <br>
<br>
Track officials didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
