Scottsdale Airport spokesperson Kelli Kuester told USA Today that the collision happened after the left gear of the plane that was supposed to land at the airport seemingly failed while landing. The outlet also stated that Vince Neil's jet was registered to a company called Chromed in Hollywood, Inc.
The jet to which Vince's plane crashed was a Gulfstream 200 business jet, which had been parked at the airport since last month. The runway was closed for some time after the incident and one of the victims had to be rescued by the Scottsdale Fire Department after the individual failed to come out of one of the jets.
Worrick Robinson's statement to USA Today also disclosed that apart from Hannah and Ashley, there were two pilots inside. Vince Neil's band Mötley Crüe said in a now-deleted statement shared through X (formerly Twitter) that the pilot lost his life and the co-pilot has also been transported to a local hospital.
The statement added that Hannah and Ashley's injuries were "not life-threatening" and continued:
"Mötley Crüe will announce a way to help support the family of the deceased pilot – stand by for an announcement very soon."
A report by Daily Mail stated that the Gulfstream 200 business jet is owned by a company called WW Aviation Inc. While responding to the incident, Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky stated that they have contacted the airport and other officials for further updates on the incident.
While Vince has not announced any new solo project from his side or with his band for now, he will join Mötley Crüe for The Las Vegas Residency, where the group will perform at Dolby Live in the casino hotel Park MGM between March 28 and April 19, as per The Music Universe.
