• Two private jets collided on the runway at Scottsdale Airport after the landing gear failed on one of the planes.
• The crash resulted in one fatality and two critical injuries.
• The Learjet involved in the accident was owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil, but he was not on board.

The runway at the Scottsdale Airport reopened shortly before 9 p.m. Monday

after a fatal crash earlier in the day.

At about 2:30 p.m., private jets collided on the runway after the landing gear failed on a Learjet 35A arriving from Austin, Texas, according to airport officials. The plane, which had four people aboard, veered off the runway and hit a parked Gulfstream jet that had one person on board.

One person was killed. Two others were critically injured.

The Learjet was owned by Mötley Crüe lead singer Vince Neil, according to a filing with the Wyoming secretary of state. He was not aboard, according to a

statement released by a representative for Neil

.

Air traffic controllers redirected planes after the collision occurred, according to audio recordings. One controller can be heard telling a pilot to maintain altitude and “go around.”

“We just had an emergency,” the controller says.

The National Transportation Safety Board was handling the investigation.

What do we know about the people who were hurt?

Scottsdale fire officials have released few details about the people on the planes.

Two passengers and two pilots were on the Learjet, and one person was on the parked Gulfstream jet, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. In addition to the person who died and the two people who were critically injured, another person was injured.

Officials have not said which plane the person who was killed was on, but the damage to the Learjet would suggest it was that aircraft. They also have not yet said which plane the critically injured people were on. One person refused treatment.

Crash is the latest in a series of airplane collisions

Monday’s crash came after 10 people were killed in a plane crash near Nome, Alaska, on Feb. 6. Two crashes, one in Philadelphia and the other in Washington, D.C., occurred in January, killing over 70 people total.

The last fatal crash at the Scottsdale Airport was in 2018. A pilot, student pilot and four passengers were killed after the plane crashed shortly after takeoff.

Scottsdale Airport is “one of the nation’s busiest single-runway airports,” according to Experience Scottsdale, a nonprofit that works with Scottsdale and Paradise Valley to market the area for tourism. The airport logs over 133,000 takeoffs and landings each year, according to the group.

FAA records show the airport’s runways were rated in good condition and measured 8,249 feet — about a mile and a half — in length.

The NTSB lists 15 fatal aircraft incidents in the Scottsdale area and four incidents involving a serious injury, with the earliest going back to the 1970s.

Two of the serious injuries involved student pilots, one involved a pilot having a hard landing after the plane’s engine lost power and another involved a pilot having a forced landing after misjudging their altitude and clearance.
