A collision involving two business jets on the ground at Scottsdale Airport (KSDL) resulted in one fatality and three injuries.
The incident occurred when an arriving Learjet 35A veered off the runway after its main left landing gear reportedly failed, striking a parked Gulfstream G200.
The Learjet is registered to an entity owned by Motley Crue's Vince Neil, though he was not aboard, and the NTSB is leading the investigation into the accident which temporarily closed the airport.
