Multiple Casualties As Planes Collide In Arizona, Including Mötley Crüe Singer Vince Neil’s Jet

Earlier today, a private plane owned by Vince Neil was involved in a crash near Scottsdale, AZ,” the band said. “The pilot was tragically killed; the co-pilot and other.

Vince was not on the plane. Vince‘s girlfriend and her friend suffered injuries, albeit not life-threatening,” the statement added. ”While details are still emerging, our hearts go out to the families about the pilot who lost his life in the passengers who suffered injuries.”

Two planes collided on a runway at an Arizona airport, leaving one person dead and others injured.

A Bombardier Learjet 35A arriving from Austin, Texas, was making a landing at Scottsdale Municipal Airport when the incident took place at around 2:39 p.m. local time on Monday, February 10.

The private jet is owned by Vince Neil, the lead singer of Mötley Crüe.

The aircraft had veered off the runway and crashed into a Gulfstream G200 business jet that was parked nearby on private property.

The Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio said the incident occurred due to a faulty landing gear.

Out of the five people involved in the incident, the pilot was pronounced dead, according to the Daily Mail. Meanwhile, two others were rushed to trauma centers.

A fourth person was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

Officials said one person was trapped inside the plane for an extended period of time after the crash.

The private plane was registered to Chromed—owned by the musician—in Hollywood, based out of Franklin.

Neil’s representative provided a statement shared on social media following the collision.

“For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway, causing it to collide with another parked plane,” rep. Worrick Robinson said.

While the rocker was not on the plane, there was one pilot, a co-pilot and two passengers aboard, the statement noted.

Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Andreani, and her friend, Ashley, were the two passengers on the plane and were later hospitalized, sources told TMZ.
