1 dead, at least 3 injured after planes crash at Arizona airport on tarmac

One person was killed and at least three others were injured in Scottsdale, Arizona, after a business jet crashed into another plane after it landed on Monday.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the Learjet 35A — owned by Vince Neil of the band Mötley Crüe — veered off the runway as it arrived at Scottsdale Municipal Airport around 2:45 p.m. It made contact with a Gulfstream 200 business jet that was parked on private property, officials said at a news conference.

An airport spokesperson said that the left main gear of Neil’s jet failed at landing. Neil was not onboard the plane, according to the singer’s spokesperson, which had departed from Austin, Texas.

There were five people on board the plane, according to Capt. Dave Folio of the Scottsdale Fire Department. One person was pronounced dead on arrival and three others were transported to a local hospital. One person refused medical treatment, Folio said.

According to a statement from Mötley Crüe, the person killed was the pilot. Neil’s girlfriend and a friend of hers were both on board and were injured, but their injuries were not life-threatening, the band said.

The National Transportation Safety Board will be taking over the investigation.

The PGA Tour’s Phoenix Open was held over the weekend in Scottsdale. It is typically one of the busiest times of year for the airport.

There are no commercial flights or airline service at the airport, according to its website, but it is home to many of the region’s corporate aircraft.
