After a harrowing plane crash that resulted in one fatality, Vince Neil has spoken out, sharing that his "thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved."
Monday took a catastrophic turn when a plane belonging to the Mötley Crüe frontman collided on the Scottsdale Airport runway in Arizona, leading to one death and leaving four others wounded. On board Vince's jet, which was one of two midsize business aircraft involved in the disaster, was his partner Rain Andreani, aged 43, who sustained five fractured ribs and her friend Ashley. Both are currently undergoing treatment for serious injuries.
The incident reportedly occurred at 2:45pm on Monday (Feb. 10) when a Bombardier Learjet 35A arriving from Austin, TX veered off the runway after landing at Scottsdale Municipal Airport and crashed into a Gulfstream G-200 business jet parked nearby on private property. One person was reported deceased following the crash, with four others suffering injuries.
A press briefing from Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio attributed the incident to faulty landing gear.
“At 2:39 p.m. local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A owned by Vince Neil was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport,” the statement read. “For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane. On board Mr. Neil’s plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane.
