SCOTTSDALE, AZ (NB360) — A private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil collided with another jet at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday afternoon, resulting in one fatality and several injuries, according to authorities.

Neil’s jet was in the process of landing when it veered off the runway and hit a parked plane, as stated by Neil’s representative Worrick Robinson, IV. The jet had two pilots and two passengers on board, but Neil was not among them.

"Mr. Neil extends his thoughts and prayers to all those affected and appreciates the crucial support from the first responders on the scene today," Robinson stated.

The incoming jet veered off the runway and struck the Gulfstream 200 jet parked on private property, as reported by Kelli Kuester, the aviation planning and outreach coordinator at Scottsdale Airport. She indicated that the failure of the left main landing gear on the arriving jet led to the collision.

Kuester stated that four individuals were on the incoming jet from Austin, Texas, while one person was in the stationary plane.

According to Scottsdale Fire Department Capt. Dave Folio, two people injured in the crash were transported to trauma centers, and one was in stable condition at a hospital. He mentioned they were working to recover the body of the person who died in the collision.

Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky said in a statement that she is closely monitoring the situation and is in contact with the airport, police, and federal agencies.

"On behalf of the city of Scottsdale, we extend our heartfelt condolences to those involved in the accident and to those receiving treatment at our trauma center," she stated. "We will keep everyone affected by this tragedy in our thoughts and prayers."

The airport is a favored spot for jets traveling in and out of the Phoenix area, particularly during major sports weekends like the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament, which draws large crowds just a few miles away.

The Scottsdale collision follows three significant U.S. aviation disasters in the last two weeks. A commercial airliner and an Army helicopter collided near the nation's capital on January 29, resulting in 67 fatalities. A medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia on January 31, killing the six people on board and another individual on the ground. Additionally, last week a small commuter plane crashed in western Alaska en route to the hub community of Nome, resulting in the deaths of all 10 people on board.
