Tragedy at Scottsdale airport: Musician and actor's planes collide
The accident occurred at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. A plane owned by American musician Vince Neil veered off the runway during landing and collided with a private jet belonging to actor Vince Vaughn. As a result of the incident, one person was killed, and four were injured. Two of the injured are in critical condition.
Airport spokesperson Kelli Kuester reported that the Learjet 35A owned by Neil, which had arrived from Austin, Texas, veered off the runway during landing and collided with a parked Gulfstream G200 jet belonging to Hollywood actor Vince Vaughn. There were four people on board the Learjet and one on the Gulfstream.
According to preliminary findings, the cause of the accident may have been a failure in the left landing gear, which malfunctioned during landing.
Vince Neil is an American musician and composer. He was the lead vocalist of the band Mötley Crüe for many years. Vince Vaughn, on the other hand, is an actor and producer, known for films such as "Wedding Crashers," "The Break-Up," "The Watch," "Anchorman," and "Hacksaw Ridge."
Neither Neil nor Vaughn was on board the planes at the time of the accident at Scottsdale Airport.
