Feb. 10: Vince Neil’s Learjet Involved in Fatal Collision
One person was killed when a Learjet 35A owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil collided with a parked plane (later identified as a Gulfstream G-200) when it veered from the runway while trying to land at Arizona’s Scottsdale Airport at 2:39 p.m. local time, according to a statement from Nashville-based attorney Worrick Robinson IV.
Neil was not onboard at the time.
His lawyer called it “a rapidly evolving situation” under “ongoing investigation,” adding, “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.”
There were four aboard the Learjet and the FAA later confirmed the pilot had died, while the co-pilot and one passenger were seriously injured.
Per WMTV 15 News, a preliminary report released March 3 by the NTSB stated that surveillance and cell phone video footage of the incident showed the jet’s rear left landing gear in an “askew” position as it approached the runway in Scottsdale.
The report also noted that the same flight crew had reported an issue landing in McAlester, Okla., on June 20, 2024.
The pilot hired a mechanic who performed maintenance, the report detailed, and additional maintenance was conducted on the plane in December. A mechanic who serviced the landing gear noted that “nothing appeared unusual,” the report stated, but the left landing gear “took an excessive amount of grease.”
