Another plane crashes at airport

One person is dead and four others are injured after a Bombardier Learjet 35A veered off the runway after landing at Scottsdale, Arizona Airport and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet that was parked on private property, according to the Federal Aviation Authority.

“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.

One person is dead and four others are 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, according to the Federal Aviation Authority.

“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 on Runway 21, according to Scottsdale Airport.

One person died upon impact, according to Folio, who gave an afternoon press briefing on the collision. Authorities were working into the evening to extricate the body.

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

In what Folio described as an “active scene,” emergency responders were working to “extricate and save” the remains of one individual who was declared “dead on arrival.”

Authorities have not yet identified any of the victims; however, a statement from Jet Pros, LLC, which operated the Gulfstream, clarified that there were no passengers aboard its parked jet at the time of the crash.

“There were no injuries on board the Gulfstream, but external damages were sustained to the aircraft,” the statement said. “We are cooperating fully with airport authorities and relevant agencies as they conduct a thorough review of the situation.”

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.”

The 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 that he was not aboard the jet at the time of the incident.

It said that the exact cause of the incident remained unknown and called it a “rapidly evolving situation,” while offering Neil’s “thoughts and prayers” to everyone involved.

The statement did, however, confirm that the four passengers comprised two pilots and two passengers — without elaborating on who they were, or which passengers may have been harmed or killed.
