One of the planes involved in the deadly Scottsdale, Arizona plane crash is owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil.
The crash happened on the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 10, around 2:50 p.m.
The FAA says a Learjet 35A, owned by Neil, was arriving from Austin, Texas when it veered off the runway and hit a parked Gulfstream 200. The Learjet’s left main gear reportedly failed upon landing.
The Scottsdale Fire Department says five people were injured in the crash.
On the Learjet, pilot Joie Vitosky, 78, died, two are in critical condition, and another person has non-life-threatening injuries. The fifth victim was in the parked Gulfstream, and did not want medical treatment.
In a now-deleted statement posted to X, Mötley Crüe said Neil was not on the plane.
The statement went on to say, “The pilot was tragically killed; the co-pilot and other passengers were taken to local hospitals. Vince was not on the plane. Vince’s girlfriend and suffered injuries, albeit not life-threatening. 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 new statement does not go into detail about who was killed or injured in the crash.
LiveNOW’s Andrew Craft spoke about the plane collision with FOX 10 Phoenix reporter Steve Nielsen.
