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.

The airport confirmed the crash in a post on X shortly after it happened.

“An accident has occurred upon arrival to runway 21,” the airport posted on X. “Fire Department is on scene assessing the situation. Scottsdale Airports runway is currently closed.”

Officials said airport operations staff and emergency personnel from a Scottsdale fire station responded to the scene within one minute of the collision.

Folio said that the runway is closed and will remain closed for the “foreseeable future.”
