A jet owned by legendary rock group Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil crashed into another jet as it was traveling down the runway at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona – one person is now dead
A private jet owned by legendary Mötley Crüe front man Vince Neil crashed into another jet in Scottsdale, with one person confirmed dead.
In a statement from Worrick Robinson Law posted to X, they confirmed that the plane veered from the runway with two pilots and two passengers aboard Neil’s plane.
They confirmed Vince Neil was not on the plane. TMZ have reported that his girlfriend Rain was on the plane and is now in hospital with five broken ribs.
At least one person is dead and four are injured after a privat jet “skid off the runway” and smashed into a second plane at Scottsdale Aiport in Arizona.
The scene was swarmed by emergency crews following the crash that occurred around 2.45pm local time, involving two multi-million dollar luxury private jets.
Local reports indicate that two individuals have been taken to hospital, while another person remains trapped. Footage from the scene shows a downed plane surrounded by numerous ambulances and fire trucks.
Scottsdale Fire Department Captain Dave Folio said: “We have five souls, one (dead on arrival), two immediate that have been transported to local trauma centers, one delayed stable to a local hospital, and this is still an active scene.”
The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed the harrowing event: “A Learjet 35A veered off the runway after landing and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet on the ramp at Scottsdale Municipal Airport in Arizona around 2:45 p.m. local time Monday, Feb. 10. We do not know how many people were on board. The FAA is temporarily pausing flights into the airport.”
This incident follows the recent tragedy where a small commuter plane en route to Nome, Alaska, crashed on sea ice last Friday, claiming the lives of all 10 passengers aboard, marking it as one of the state’s deadliest crashes in over two decades.
