A private jet owned by Vince Neil – the lead singer of Mötley Crüe – was involved in a fatal crash Monday afternoon at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.
Authorities say one person was killed and three others were injured when the landing gear on Neil's plane failed, causing it to careen off the runway and smash into a bigger jet.
The jet is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, Inc - a Wyoming-based company – that lists Neil as its director, according to records reviewed by Fox News Digital. A lawyer for Neil confirmed to AZFamily that he was not on the plane.
"On board, Mr. Neil's plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane," the statement reads. "Mr. Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all the first responders assisting today."
Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio said a person was trapped in Neil's jet after the crash, but rescuers were able to free them from the wreckage. The person was transferred to a trauma center in critical condition.
"Our thoughts and prayers are going out to everybody in the aviation community that this affects today," Kelli Kuester, Aviation outreach and planning coordinator for the Scottsdale Airport said.
