One of the two pilots aboard the private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil died when the aircraft veered off a runway in Arizona and hit a parked business jet.

The singer was not on the plane, but his girlfriend Rain Andreani was one of the several people taken to hospital, and one person died.

The private jet of Vince Neil, the lead singer of Mötley Crüe, was involved in a collision with another airplane at Scottsdale Airport.

While Vince Neil's private jet was involved in a fatal accident earlier this week, killing his longtime pilot and injuring three others, the rocker was not onboard at the time of the incident. Now, one of his good friends has revealed why Neil was not traveling on the ill-fated flight when it lost control upon touching down in Scottsdale,
