A private jet owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil was involved in a runway accident at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona, colliding with a parked aircraft. Video footage captures the Learjet 35A, after experiencing landing gear failure, skidding off the runway and impacting a Gulfstream 200. The force of the collision caused the larger jet to lift and shift forward.
