The Scottsdale Airport in Arizona was closed Monday afternoon after a business jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil—who was not on board—veered off the runway into a parked aircraft, killing one person and hospitalizing three others, in what appears to be the latest deadly aviation accident in the United States.
Key Facts
The incident occurred around 2:39 p.m. MST when a Learjet arriving from Austin, Texas veered off the runway after landing and collided with a parked Gulfstream 200 plane.
Kelli Kuester, the Scottsdale Airport’s aviation planning and outreach coordinator, told reporters that “it appears that the left main [landing] gear failed upon landing,” resulting in the accident.
According to Scottsdale Fire Department Captain Dave Folio, one person was killed in the accident and three others who were injured—including two in critical condition—were taken to local medical facilities.
