Scottsdale Airport spokesperson Kelli Kueste said at an evening news briefing that the Learjet was arriving from Austin, Texas, and veered off the runway into the park aircraft. The arriving plane's left main gear appeared to have failed at landing, causing the collision, Kuester said..

The runway was closed following the accident, and will remain closed 'for the foreseeable future,' Kuester said.
The airport is a popular hub for jets coming in and out of the Phoenix area, especially during big sports weekends.
The crash follows a string of deadly aircraft accidents in the last two weeks.

Motley Crue's Vince Neil sparks health concerns with stiff performance
Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil sparked health concerns from fans with his stiff solo performance with a backing band at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY on August 3. The 64-year-old glam metal rocker was singing his 1987 hit Girls, Girls, Girls with a faraway expression in his eyes, which continuously darted down to read the lyrics off a teleprompter. 'Great to be back on stage rocking out the last three nights with my brothers Stephen Pearcy "Ratt" and @bretmichaelsofficial!' Vince - who boasts 2.2M social media followers - wrote on August 4. 'Thanks to all the fans that made it out. I hope to see you in Vegas this fall!' However, concertgoer Tara Adams uploaded the now viral footage to Instagram where user @70brand commented: 'He even looks like he doesn't want to be there.' Instagram user @b_r_i_a_n_7_6 scoffed: 'He's making Corey Feldman look good.' 'My god,' Instagram user @ marveled. 'He's reading the words from the stage.' 'This is sad, out of being concerned for Vince. No need to kick somebody when they're down. This is not good,' YouTube user @shawnstarks1743 wrote. YouTube user @jasonscott5101 commented: 'Damn! This band needs a singer.' 'Jesus Christ, Ozzy sounded better than this two weeks before he died,' YouTube user @thefilmlodge blasted. 'This is embarrassing.' Ironically, Mötley Crüe was unable to attend the late Ozzy Osbourne's final concert in England on July 5 because as bassist Nikki Sixx tweeted on July 10: 'We have been having health issues within the band…' Neil (last name Wharton) performed for the first time in nearly a year on August 1 at MGM Music Hall in Boston where he thanked fans for their patience. 'I had a medical thing that happened to me, and they said I wouldn't be back on stage again,' the three-time Grammy nominee revealed onstage. 'I said, "[expletive] that, man!" And I'm back and I'm with you guys tonight. And I'm really proud to be here, man. Thank you so much.' Vince took another blow last May when he ended his nearly 15-year relationship with girlfriend Rain Hannah 'because one of his assistants alleged she was cheating on him' - according to TMZ . Mötley Crüe kick off their postponed 10-date Las Vegas residency on September 12 at Dolby Live at Park MGM after having to reschedule due to Neil's recovery. The band's current lineup also includes bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee, and guitarist John 5 - who replaced founding member Mick Mars in 2022. The 74-year-old bass player - who retired due to ongoing health issues - is now suing his bandmates for unpaid royalties. Mötley Crüe - which averages 11.5M monthly listeners on Spotify - was founded in 1981, and they've sold over 100M records worldwide including nine Top 10 albums on the US Billboard 200 chart. The Dogs of War singer went solo from 1992-1997 and released three studio albums.

Sky News host Peta Credlin shows off her incredible gym transformation as she poses in skintight activewear
Peta Credlin has been working hard at the gym ahead of indulging on holiday. The Sky News host shared a selfie to Instagram recently that showed her progress in the gym. The fit 55-year-old posed in skintight activewear including a navy blue tank top and black leggings. She flexed her ample arm muscles as she snapped a mirror selfie to flaunt her slender, muscular physique, and explained she was working hard before heading off on holiday to Italy. 'Progress update before I go and ruin all the hard work with a daily holiday gelato,' she wrote in her caption. Peta explained that she has been working out at the Enterprise Fitness gym in Melbourne. The comments section was inundated with support, with TV host Rebecca Maddern writing, 'I wouldn't mess with you.' Peta replied: 'Trying to avoid the dreaded "tuck shop" arms of menopause.' One fan chimed in: 'Well done. Healthy body healthy mind. A force to be reckoned with.' 'I didn't think anyone was allowed guns that big,' joked another while someone else said, 'Great effort. Hope the training is going to help kick Albo around.' Earlier this year, Peta dressed down a male colleague live on air, accusing him of insulting the intelligence of women. Credlin grew increasingly exasperated with the network's political editor Andrew Clennell, after he said former Opposition Leader Peter Dutton had to bring in some 'women-friendly policies' in order to pave his way to The Lodge. 'What's a 'women's friendly policy' mate?' a visibly unimpressed Credlin said. 'Do you think we don't care about the economy? We don't care about defence?' Clennell replied: 'I'm not a woman. But I'm saying if (Dutton) went for that constituency, if he did a couple of things in that area, and I remember Gladys Berejiklian did that sort of thing.' That comment only made Credlin more incensed. 'You insult our intelligence to think we don't care about these things,' she said. 'Well of course they do, but people vote with the hip pocket - there is a sense amongst women,' Clennell continued before a finger-pointing Credlin interrupted that women 'do not vote with our vaginas'. 'Well, you're the one who's asking me about a gender difference, Peta, I mean, you raised it,' Clennell retorted. 'Well... I'm asking you about what can you read in it, and you're saying that he's got to have women's policies to win women,' Peta responded. 'I find that offensive.' Credlin was the former chief of staff to Tony Abbott when he was prime minister and minister for women.
