One person was killed and four injured after a private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil collided with another private plane when landing at an Arizona airport Monday afternoon, authorities said.
At 2:29 p.m., a Learjet aircraft flying in from Austin, Texas, veered off the runway while attempting to land at Scottsdale Airport and collided with a parked Gulfstream 200 aircraft, said Kelli Kuester, aviation planning and outreach coordinator for the airport at a news conference. It appears that the Learjet’s left main gear failed upon landing, causing the plane to crash, she said.
Neil owns the Learjet Model 35A but was not on the plane at the time of the crash, according to a statement by his representative, Worrick Robinson. Two pilots and two passengers were on board, Robinson said.
