A private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil has crashed into a parked plane on the runway of Scottsdale Airport in Arizona, dramatic video footage shows.
The harrowing footage shows Neil’s plane after it touched down on a runway at around 2:45 p.m. local time.
The plane lost control when its landing gear failed.
The Learjet 35A can be seen traveling at high speed, skidding along the tarmac with its nose pressed against the concrete.
It then careens off the runway and barrels towards a bigger parked private jet, an Israel Aircraft Industries Gulfstream 200.
The out-of-control Learjet then strikes the side of the parked Gulfstream with such force that the front of the bigger jet lifts and moves forward a couple of feet.
The Scottsdale Fire Department said one person was killed.
Four others were also injured in the deadly incident.
The “Too Fast for Love” singer was not on the plane at the time, officials confirmed.
WATCH:
Those injured included two pilots and two passengers who were on the Learjet, according to authorities and a statement put out by Mötley Crüe.
The passengers included Neil’s girlfriend Rain Hannah and her friend.
The statement said that one of the pilots was killed but that statement was later deleted without mentioning who died.
Hannah suffered five broken ribs, per TMZ.
The passengers also had dogs on the plane that survived the incident.
According to the Scottsdale Fire Department, the fifth victim was in the parked Gulfstream and did not want medical treatment.
“On board Mr. Neil’s plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane,” the statement reads.
“Mr. Neil’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all the first responders assisting today.”
Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio said a person was trapped in Neil’s jet after the crash.
However, rescuers were able to free them from the wreckage.
The person was transferred to a trauma center in critical condition.
Kelli Kuester, an aviation outreach and planning coordinator for the Scottsdale Airport, said in a statement:
“Our thoughts and prayers are going out to everybody in the aviation community that this affects today.”
The two aircraft were separated by rescue crews later on Monday.
Images from the scene show the cockpit area of the Learjet almost completely caved in on its left-hand side with a red tarp placed over it.
A set of wheels belonging to the Learjet could be seen around 100 yards away, per Fox 10 Phoenix.
Eyewitness Gordan Johnson, who has worked for 35 years in aviation, told the outlet that he saw the front landing gear collapse.
He then watched the jet slide off the runway to the left.
The plane was coming from Austin, Texas when it crashed.
The jet is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, Inc., a Wyoming-based company.
The company lists Neil as its director, according to public records.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said it is investigating the crash.
Scottsdale Airport announced the runway was closed following the crash but reopened at around 10:40 p.m. on Monday.
Officials said airport operations staff and emergency personnel from a Scottsdale fire station responded to the scene within one minute of the collision.
