At least one person has died and three more injured as a small jet owned by Vince Neil collides with another plane at Scottsdale Municipal Airport Tuesday morning.
Neil, frontman for the band Motley Crue, was not on board.
According to an airport spokesperson, the left main gear of the small plane, a Learjet 35A, failed, causing the plane to veer off the runway. It collided with a Gulfstream 200 business jet which was parked on private property at the time.
The jet was carrying two pilots and two passengers: Vince Neil’s girlfriend and one of her friends. Both passengers were injured, but it was not disclosed who had died.
Scottsdale Municipal Airport does not receive passenger or commercial aircraft, instead receiving mainly private jets owned by the affluent. The PGA Tour held its Phoenix Open over the weekend in Arizona, marking one of the busiest weekends in the airport’s year.
This accident adds to a long list of aeronautic incidents over the last month, including the collision between a passenger plane and an army Blackhawk in DC and a missing, and later found crashed, Cessna in Alaska.
Flights will continue to enter and exit Scottsdale Municipal Airport.
