A private jet, owned by Vince Neil – the lead singer of the famous rock band Mötley Crüe – was involved in a deadly crash at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on February 10. Tragically, the crash resulted in one fatality, and three others sustained injuries.
What Happened in the Crash?
According to authorities, the crash occurred when the landing gear of Vince Neil’s private jet failed. As a result, the jet veered off the runway and collided with a larger Gulfstream 200 business jet that was on the ramp. The incident took place at 2:45 PM local time.
The jet involved is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, Inc., a Wyoming-based company, with Vince Neil listed as the company’s director. However, Neil was not on the plane at the time of the accident.
Those Onboard Vince Neil’s Jet
A lawyer for Vince Neil confirmed to local news outlet AZFamily that Neil was not onboard the jet when the accident occurred. The plane had two pilots and two passengers on board. While one person was tragically killed, a second individual was critically injured and had to be rushed to a trauma center.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragedy,” said Vince Neil’s lawyer. “Mr. Neil’s thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved, and he is grateful for the first responders’ critical aid.”
Emergency Response to the Scene
When the crash occurred, emergency responders were quick to act. The Scottsdale Fire Department was at the scene within a minute of the crash. Capt. Dave Folio of the fire department confirmed that one person was trapped in the wreckage but was successfully extricated by rescuers.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the aviation community affected by this incident," said Kelli Kuester, the aviation outreach coordinator for Scottsdale Airport.
Investigation Underway
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the cause of the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) also confirmed the crash and stated that a Learjet 35A veered off the runway before hitting the Gulfstream jet.
