A private jet owned by Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil was involved in a fatal plane crash at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona, and the cause has since been revealed after one pilot died and the rocker's girlfriend, Rain Hannah Andreani, was injured.
'According to initial reports, the Learjet's left main landing gear failed upon landing, leading to the collision [with a Gulfstream G200 jet],' the City of Scottsdale said in a statement on Tuesday, February 11, revealing the Learjet flight was arriving just before 3 p.m. on Monday, February 10, after a trip from Austin, Texas.
The private jet containing two pilots and two passengers 'veered off the runway,' the Federal Aviation Administration noted after a video showed the aircraft skidding and having difficulty stopping safely before colliding with a parked Gulfstream G200 jet.
Vince, 64, was not onboard the private jet at the time.
His girlfriend, Rain, 43, with whom he has been in a relationship for nearly 14 years, suffered five broken ribs, sources close to the musician told TMZ.
It is reported that her friend Ashley, who was also onboard the private jet, is being hospitalized as well as the jet's copilot. The dogs the women were traveling with survived the tragic incident.
'There were no injuries on board the Gulfstream, but external damages were sustained to the aircraft,' read a statement from Jet Pros, LLC. 'We are cooperating fully with airport authorities and relevant agencies as they conduct a thorough review of the situation.'
All flights were initially suspended at Scottsdale Airport but reopened approximately six hours after the crash.
'More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation. Mr. Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today,' Vince's representative Worrick Robinson said on the rocker's behalf on February 10.
'While details are still emerging, our hearts go out to the families of both the pilot who lost his life and the passengers who suffered injuries,' the band shared after the incident. 'Mötley Crüe will announce a way to help support the family of the deceased pilot — stand by for an announcement very soon.'
Fellow rocker Bret Michaels, famed singer from the band Poison, sent his well-wishes to all those impacted. 'My deepest sympathy and condolences to the pilot that just passed away in Scottsdale Airpark and the other pilot who was injured, as well as my thoughts and prayers to our family friend Rain, her friends and all those that were injured in the tragic landing.'
Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky also spoke out to express her heartbreak for the family of the pilot who tragically died in the crash.
'On behalf of the city of Scottsdale, we offer our deepest condolences to those involved in the accident and for those who have been taken to our trauma center for treatment. We will keep all affected by this tragedy in our prayers,' she said. 'I would also like to thank our first responder community for their quick action and service in this situation.'
