Read the full NTSB narrative
AFTER LANDING ON RWY 31L, THE AIRCREW OF N100VV REQUESTED CLEARANCE TO TURN OFF TO THE RIGHT AT MIDFIELD ONTO RWY 22. THE REQUEST WAS APPROVED & THE AIRCREW WAS INSTRUCTED TO USE CAUTION FOR A CHEROKEE PROCEEDING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE PLT OF N100VV STATED THAT AFTER HE TURNED RIGHT ONTO RWY 4/22 & WAS CLEAR OF THE CHEROKEE, HE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE TOWER TO ADVISE OF HIS INTENTIONS. HOWEVER, THE FREQ WAS TOO BUSY, SO HE SWITCHED TO THE GROUNDFREQ & TRANSMITTED THAT HE WAS 'OFF 31L, GOING TO ATLANTIC.' THIS TRANSMISSION ENDED JUST AS N100VV WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION OF RWYS 22 & 31R. JUST PRIOR TO THAT, N222WL HAD BEEN CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF ON RWY 31R & HAD BEGUN ITS TAKEOFF ROLL. N222WL WAS AT APRX 70 KTS WHEN ITS AIRCREW SAW N100VV STARTING TO CROSS THE ACTIVE RWY. THE PLT OF N222WL ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF & AVOID A COLLISION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO CLEAR N100VV. N222WL CRASHED & SLID TO A STOP APRX 400 FT BEYOND THE IMPACT POINT WITH N100VV, THEN BURNED.
