Vince Neil’s Plane Was Involved in a Fatal Crash
The Mötley Crüe frontman’s jet veered off the runway after landing and crashing into another plane at Scottsdale Municipal Airport on the afternoon of Feb. 10.
Five people were involved in the accident, Scottsdale Fire Captain Dave Folio said during a press conference.
One person was dead on arrival. Two others are currently in critical condition. The fourth person was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, the fifth person refused treatment, the local ABC affiliate reported.
Officials believe the landing jet’s left main gear failed upon landing, which led to the crash, the outlet reported.
Officials Speak Out About the Fatal Crash
The other plane is owned by Jet Pros, LLC, which is based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Gus Toulatos, the company’s Director of Operations, provided more details about the accident in a statement the local NBC affiliate.
“Our plane, a Gulfstream G-200 business jet was parked on the ramp when it was hit by a LearJet 35 at around 2:45 PM local time,” he said. “There were no injuries on board the Gulfstream, but external damages were sustained to the aircraft.”
Toulatos added, “We are cooperating fully with airport authorities and relevant agencies as they conduct a thorough review of the situation. We appreciate the swift response of airport personnel and will provide updates as more information becomes available.”
Meanwhile, Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky told the first outlet that she offers her “deepest condolences to those involved in the accident and for those who have been taken to our trauma center for treatment.”
