Fatal Plane Crash at Scottsdale Airport Involving Vince Neil's Learjet
A deadly plane crash occurred at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday afternoon, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries. The incident involved a Learjet 35A, owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil, which veered off the runway after landing and collided with a parked Gulfstream 200 business jet. The Learjet was arriving from Austin, Texas, and carried two pilots and two passengers, though Neil was not onboard.
According to Scottsdale Fire Department Captain Dave Folio, one person was killed in the crash, while three others were hospitalized, two in critical condition. Emergency responders worked to extricate one individual still trapped in the wreckage. The runway was closed indefinitely following the incident, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has taken over the investigation.
Initial reports suggest that the Learjet’s left main landing gear failed upon landing, causing it to veer off the runway. The airport, a hub for private and corporate aircraft, handles over 130,000 takeoffs and landings annually. This crash adds to a recent string of aviation accidents in the U.S., including a fatal collision near Washington, D.C., and a medical transport plane crash in Philadelphia. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the Scottsdale incident.
