An aircraft owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil veered off the runway while landing at Phoenix-Scottsdale Airport (SCF/KSDL) on Monday afternoon, colliding with parked aircraft and resulting in the death of one pilot. Neil was not on board at the time.
"At 2:39 p.m. local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport," The Learjet 35A veered off runway 21 and struck a parked Gulfstream G200 Galaxy - N199DF (MSN 128)
On board Mr. Neil’s plane were two pilots and two passengers."
Five people in total were involved in the accident, a Scottsdale Fire Department spokesperson said during a press conference. One was a fatality, two were in critical condition and transported to local trauma centers, one was in stable condition was sent to a local hospital, and one person refused treatment.
"Mr. Neil’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today," Robinson wrote in the statement.
Mötley Crüe's manager Allen Kovac told TMZ that Neil's girlfriend, Rain Hannah, was among the injured, along with her friend Ashley. The dogs they were traveling with also survived the accident. Officials believe that the landing gear failed in the Learjet, arriving from Austin, and caused the plane to collide with a parked Gulfstream G200.
