1 dead as jet owned by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil slams into another plane at Scottsdale Airport

A pilot was killed and four others were injured after a Bombardier Learjet 35A veered off the runway after landing at Scottsdale Airport and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet that was parked on private property, authorities said.

"According to initial reports, the Learjet’s left main landing gear failed upon landing, leading to the collision," the City of Scottsdale said in a statement, which also confirmed that the flight was inbound from Austin, Texas.

The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. local time Monday on Runway 21, according to Scottsdale Airport.

One person died upon impact, according to Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio. He was identified Wednesday by the Scottsdale Police Department as 78-year-old Joie Vitosky, a pilot on the Learjet flight. The Maricopa County medical examiner will determine the cause of death, police said.

Two individuals were in critical condition and sent to local trauma centers, Folio said. Another person was sent to a local hospital, and a fourth refused treatment at the scene, he added.

Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was identified as the owner of the Learjet. In a statement posted to X on Monday, representatives for Neil confirmed he was not aboard the jet at the time of the incident.

The exact cause of the incident remains unknown and Neil's representative called it a "rapidly evolving situation," while offering "thoughts and prayers" to everyone involved.

There were four people on the Learjet, including two pilots and two passengers, according to Neil's representative.

Jet Pros, LLC, which operated the Gulfstream, said a member of the flight crew who was on board the parked jet at the time of the crash was injured upon the impact. He has since been treated and released, the company said Tuesday.

"We are cooperating fully with airport authorities and relevant agencies as they conduct a thorough review of the situation," Jet Pros said in a statement.

Jet Pros also extended its condolences to the families of those impacted and thanked emergency responders for their swift response to what it called a "terrible accident."

All flights were initially suspended at the airport, which is located in Maricopa County, Arizona. However, it reopened approximately six hours after the crash.

Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky issued a statement on Monday evening, saying, "On behalf of the city of Scottsdale, we offer our deepest condolences to those involved in the accident and for those who have been taken to our trauma center for treatment. We will keep all affected by this tragedy in our prayers."

"I would also like to thank our first responder community for their quick action and service in this situation," she added.

The Scottsdale Fire Department and Scottsdale Police Department remained on scene as the sun started to set, alongside other emergency responders.

The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation into the crash.
