Around 2:30 p.m. Monday, a Gates Learjet Corp 35A, owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil and which was arriving from Austin, Texas, veered off the left side of the runway and collided with a parked Israel Aircraft Industries Gulfstream 200.
The pilot of the Learjet, 78-year-old Joie Vitosky, died as a result of the crash. Two other people were critically injured. A third was injured, but not critically.
Neil was not on the jet at the time of the collision, according to a statement by Neil's legal representative on the band's Instagram account. However, Neil's girlfriend, Rain Hannah Andreani, 43, was on board, Mötley Crüe's manager confirmed to CNN Tuesday. She is the only person on board the planes who has been publicly identified other than Vitosky.
