Arizona Plane Crash: What Happened in the Fatal Collision at Scottsdale Airport?

Authorities have revealed why the jet collided with a parked aircraft at an airport, leaving one dead and others injured. The jet’s owner has been identified.

A Learjet 35A veered off the runway and crashed into a parked Gulfstream 200 business jet at Scottsdale Airport on Monday afternoon, February 10, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

As reported by Fox 10 Phoenix, Scottsdale Fire Captain Dave Folio confirmed that five people were involved. One person died, two were critically injured and taken to a trauma center, another sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and one individual declined medical treatment.

The FAA reported the crash occurred around 2:45 p.m., prompting a temporary suspension of flights at the airport. At 2:50 p.m., the airport posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating the accident happened upon arrival at runway 21.

Officials confirmed that the parked Gulfstream 200 was on private property when it was struck. Emergency crews, including firefighters, police, and FAA investigators, responded to the scene.

Spokesperson Kelli Kuester explained the likely cause of the crash, “It appears that the left main gear failed upon landing resulting in the accident.” As a result, the runway remains closed, according to Scottsdale Airport’s official X page (formerly Twitter).

Questions have also emerged about the jet’s ownership. Worrick Robinson, a representative for Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, told CNN that Neil owned the jet that collided with the other aircraft but was not onboard.

According to TMZ, the plane is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, a company linked to the rockstar.

While Neil was not traveling, his girlfriend, Rain, and her friend, Ashley, were on board. Both were rushed to the hospital, with Rain suffering five broken ribs. The dogs traveling with them survived the impact.

In addition to Robinson, the band’s manager, Allen Kovac, confirmed that Neil was safe and expressed condolences to the victims’ families. He added that the group is considering ways to support those affected by the tragedy.

Meanwhile, the airport management has released a statement on X, acknowledging the incident. “Our thoughts are with everyone that has been impacted by this tragic event,” the statement read.

The tragic accident comes amid a string of recent aviation disasters, including a midair collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, D.C., that killed 67 people and a medical plane that crashed in Philadelphia and left seven dead.

Additionally, a small plane that went missing over Alaska’s Bering Sea was later reported to have crashed too. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, carrying 10 people, was found after an extensive search near Nome.
