A private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil crashed into another plane at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. The crash reportedly claimed the life of one pilot and seriously injured both passengers, including Neil's girlfriend, Rain Andreani.
The incident took place on February 10 at around 2:40 pm. Per a report by TMZ, Vince was not on board, but Andreani, her friend Ashley, and their dogs were. The outlet alleges that Andreani broke five ribs, and both women are in hospital. The dogs also reportedly survived. There were allegedly two pilots in the aircraft, and one died in the crash. The flight was en route from Austin, Texas.
@BNO News posted video footage of the crash on X.
The incident was caught on several cameras at the airfield as the plane landed. You can clearly see the moment when Neil's plane bounces off the runway at high speed. Shortly after, it collides with the side of another aircraft. The impact is so severe it pushes the parked jet several meters across the tarmac before both planes grind to a halt.
According to the New York Post, the parked plane, a Gulfstream, which was empty at the time, may belong to actor Vince Vaughn. The outlet explains that Gulfstream's tail number links it to the Dodgeball movie star, although a private plane company called JetPros says it's theirs.
