Mötley Crüe's lead singer, Vince Neil, made headlines recently after circulating videos showing his Learjet 35A aircraft plowing into another at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. The private jet could be seen crashing into a parked plane after skidding off the runway due to a landing gear failure. While Neil was not on the aircraft, the plane crash reportedly killed one person, leaving four badly injured and in need of attention. Those affected include the two pilots, Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Hannah, and her other friend on board. However, the victim who died was not disclosed. In the video, the jet skidded along the tarmac after landing,g with its nose hitting the concrete just before colliding with the Israel Aircraft Industries Gulfstream 200 in front of it. Neil’s plane hit the bigger aircraft from the side with such impact that it moved forward a bit. The ensuing statement from Neil relayed his thoughts and prayers for those impacted by the plane crash and his appreciation to first responders for their swift action. Reports say there was another injured person in the parked aircraft; however, they refused medical treatment.
