A plane owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was involved in a fatal accident in Arizona on Monday (February 10th). According to authorities, one person was killed when a Learjet 35A veered off the runway and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet on the ramp at Scottsdale Municipal Airport.
In addition to the deceased, one person was trapped inside one of the planes for an extended period of time, while three others were taken to local hospitals with injuries.

Her friend, Ashley, was also on board, and was hospitalized, as well. The pair were traveling with a couple of dogs who survived the crash. The identity of the deceased has not been released as of yet.
Kovac further relayed to TMZ that Neil’s heart goes out to the victims, and that Mötley Crüe are aiming to help out in some capacity.
