Mötley Crüe Singer’s Aircraft Involved in Runway Incident
A tragic incident occurred at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday, February 10, 2025, involving a private jet owned by Mötley Crüe’s lead singer, Vince Neil. The Learjet 35A, registered to Neil’s company, Chromed in Hollywood, veered off the runway during landing and collided with a parked Gulfstream 200 business jet. This collision resulted in the death of one pilot and injuries to three others, including Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Andreani, and her friend, Ashley. Vince Neil was not aboard the aircraft at the time of the accident.
Preliminary reports suggest that a failure in the Learjet’s left main landing gear caused the aircraft to lose control upon landing, leading to the collision. Emergency responders promptly arrived at the scene, rescuing individuals trapped inside the plane and transporting the injured to local hospitals. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
In a statement released by Vince Neil’s representative, Worrick Robinson, it was noted that the plane veered from the runway for reasons currently unknown, resulting in the collision with the parked aircraft. Neil expressed his thoughts and prayers for everyone involved and extended gratitude to the first responders for their critical assistance.
This incident is part of a series of recent aviation accidents in the United States, highlighting ongoing concerns about air travel safety. Local authorities have closed the runway indefinitely as investigations continue, and Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky has extended condolences to those affected by the tragedy.
