The private jet that barreled down a runway, colliding with a Gulfstream 200 parked at a nearby ramp, is owned by Mötley Crüe lead singer Vince Neil.
“According to the FAA, Neil’s Learjet 35A veered off the runway after landing and crashed into a Gulfstream G-200 business jet that was parked at the airport near Scottsdale and Thunderbird roads around 2:45 p.m.,” AZFamily reports.

Per AZFamily:
One person was dead when fire crews arrived and remained trapped inside the plane into the night before crews were able to extricate the person.
Neil’s heavy metal band, Mötley Crüe, made a post on Facebook that has since been deleted that said the pilot of the Learjet 35A died, and Neil’s girlfriend and her friend were hurt but should survive.
The co-pilot was also hurt.
“While details are still emerging, our hearts go out to the families of both the pilot who lost his life and the passengers who suffered injuries,” the band said in the deleted post.
The band changed their post with what Neil’s representative sent media members.

From the New York Post:
The rock star was not on the jet at the time of the collision, according to Neil’s lawyers, but the musician’s girlfriend, Rain Andreani, and her friend were aboard, sources close to the situation told TMZ.
Both women survived and were taken to the hospital, with Andreani suffering five broken ribs, according to the outlet. Dogs that were with the women during the private flight also survived the crash, per TMZ.
ADVERTISEMENTTwo pilots were also onboard the rocker’s plane, Neil’s lawyer said in a statement posted on X.
“Mr. Neil’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today,” his lawyer said.
One of the pilots died in the collision, according to Neil’s friend and Poison frontman Bret Michaels.
“My deepest sympathy and condolences to the pilot that just passed away in Scottsdale Airpark and the other pilot who was injured, as well as my thoughts and prayers to our family friend Rain, her friends and all those that were injured in the tragic landing,” Michaels wrote on Facebook.
“I was relieved to hear that my friend Vince Neil was not on board at the time of the incident.”
Jet Pros, the private jet charter company that owns the Gulfstream, confirmed there were no injuries on its aircraft in a statement, according to 12 News.
