A jet owned by Mötley Crüe rocker Vince Neil collided with a parked plane in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Feb. 10, leaving one person dead. The singer was not on board.

One person has died in an Arizona plane crash. 

A jet owned by musician Vince Neil collided with a parked plane while trying to land at the Scottsdale Airport on Feb. 10 around 2:39 p.m., according to a statement from Worrick Robinson Law to local outlet KOLDNews.

The Mötley Crüe singer was not on board at the time, but the pilot was tragically killed, according to a statement from the band on X (formerly Twitter).

The co-pilot and the two passengers—Vince’s girlfriend and her friend—were hospitalized, with the passengers’ injuries described as “not life threatening.” 

First responders confirmed one person was dead on arrival and four others were injured in total, Scottsdale Fire Captain Dave Folio said, per NBC News. Of those injured, two people were taken to medical centers in critical condition.

Neil’s lawyer said his Learjet aircraft model 35A “veered from the runway causing it to collide” with the other aircraft for “reasons unknown at this time.”

“More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation,” the statement added. “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.” 

Airport spokesperson Kelli Kuester said in a press conference that a landing gear on the plane failed when it touched down in Arizona from Austin, Texas, “resulting in the accident,” per NBC News. She said it hit a jet that was “parked on private property” nearby.

The crash comes weeks before Mötley Crüe is set to begin a Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in March with Nikki Sixx on bass, Tommy Lee on drums and John 5 on guitar.

The band said they will “announce a way to help support the family of the deceased pilot” in the future, writing, “Our hearts go out to the families of both the pilot who lost his life and the passengers who suffered injuries.”

The accident also follows a series of other tragic plane crashes in recent weeks, including the American Airlines collision with a Black Hawk helicopter that killed 67 people in Washington, D.C., as well as a plane that went missing in Alaska with all 10 passengers presumed dead.

E! News has reached out to Neil’s rep for comment but hasn’t heard back.
