A plane owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was involved in a fatal accident in Arizona on Monday (February 10th). According to authorities, one person was killed when a Learjet 35A veered off the runway and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet on the ramp at Scottsdale Municipal Airport.
In addition to the deceased, one person was trapped inside one of the planes for an extended period of time, while three others were taken to local hospitals with injuries.
Mötley Crüe’s manager Allen Kovac told TMZ that Neil was not aboard the flight, but that the singer’s girlfriend, Rain, was on the plane and sustained five broken ribs. Her friend, Ashley, was also on board, and was hospitalized, as well. The pair were traveling with a couple of dogs who survived the crash. The identity of the deceased has not been released as of yet.
Kovac further relayed to TMZ that Neil’s heart goes out to the victims, and that Mötley Crüe are aiming to help out in some capacity.
Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky stated, “Today, Scottsdale sadly experienced an aircraft accident at our airport. Based on the information provided thus far, it appears at least one person is dead after two jets collided on the runway at Scottsdale Airport.”

Local station Newschannel 5 (WTVF) reports that the Learjet 35A is owned by Chromed In Hollywood, a company based in Franklin, Tennessee, and is registered in Wyoming with Vince Neil listed as a principal agent.
A statement from the FAA reads: “A Learjet 35A veered off the runway after landing and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet on the ramp at Scottsdale Municipal Airport in Arizona around 2:45 p.m. local time Monday, Feb. 10.”
