Mötley Crüe’s statement on the plane crash

Mötley Crüe released a statement about the crash to their official X (formerly Twitter) account. “At 2:39 p.m. local time, a Learjet aircraft Model 35A owned by Vince Neil was attempting to land at the Scottsdale Airport. For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane.”  

“On board Mr. Neil’s plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane. Vince’s girlfriend, Rain, was taken to hospital following the crash. More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation,” the statement continued. 

“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. Respectfully, Worrick Robinson Law, PLLC,” the statement concluded. 

At the time of writing, Mötley Crüe hasn’t shared further updates about the fatal incident on social media. 

The Scottsdale Airport is considered among the busiest in the country and plays a major role in the region’s economy. The airport was especially busy this weekend due to the WM Phoenix Open golf tournament, held just five miles away.

The collision is the latest in a string of U.S. aviation disasters. Sixty-seven were killed when a commercial plane collided with an army helicopter near Washington, D.C. A medical transportation plane crashed in Pennsylvania resulting in seven deaths, and a commuter plane crash killed all 10 on board in Alaska.
