ONE PERSON HAS been killed and others were injured when a private jet owned by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil collided with another jet at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.
A representative for Neil says the singer was not on the plane.
Neil’s jet was landing at the airport when it veered off the runway and collided with another parked plane, the singer’s representative Worrick Robinson, IV, said in a statement.
There were two pilots and two passengers on Neil’s plane.
“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,” Robinson said.
The arriving jet veered off the runway and collided with the Gulfstream 200 jet that was parked, according to Kelli Kuester, aviation planning and outreach coordinator at the Scottsdale Airport.
It appeared that the primary landing gear of the arriving jet failed, resulting in the collision, she said.
Kuester said four people were on the arriving jet, which had come from Austin, Texas, and one person was in the parked plane.

Two people injured in the collision were taken to trauma centres and one was in stable condition at a hospital, Scottsdale Fire Department Captain Dave Folio said.
He said they were working to recover the body of the person killed in the collision.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to everybody involved in this,” Folio said.
The runway has been closed and will remain closed “for the foreseeable future,” Kuester said.
The airport is a popular hub for jets entering and leaving the Phoenix area, especially during big sports weekends like the Waste Management Open golf tournament, which attracts huge crowds just a few miles away.
The Scottsdale collision comes after three major US aviation disasters in the past two weeks.
A commercial jetliner and an Army helicopter collided near the nation’s capital on January 29, killing 67 people.
A medical transportation plane crashed in Philadelphia on January 31, killing the six people on board and another person on the ground.
Last week, a small commuter plane crashed in western Alaska on its way to the hub community of Nome, killing all 10 people on board.
