A private jet owned by Motley Crue‘s Vince Neil was involved in a deadly crash on Monday afternoon at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.
Authorities say one person was killed and three others were injured when the landing gear on Neil’s plane failed, causing it to careen off the runway and crash into a Gulfstream G-200 business jet parked nearby on private property.
The jet is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, Inc., a Wyoming-based company, that lists Neil as its director.
Neil’s representative Worrick Robinson said in a statement, “At 2:39 pm local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A owned by Vince Neil was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport.”
“For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane,” he continued. “On board Mr. Neil’s plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane.”
A press briefing from Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio attributed the incident to faulty landing gear.
Jet Pros Director of Operations Gus Toulatos, who operates the Gulfstream, issued a statement noting that no injuries occurred aboard their plane but confirmed extensive exterior damage.
