Mötley Crüe -frontman Vince Neil was not on board when a private jet he owned crashed into an airport in Arizona, the band has confirmed. The plane’s pilot is dead.

The incident that happened from the runway at Scottsdale Airport Monday afternoon (February 10) left Neil’s girlfriend rain Andreani and her friend with injuries that are not believed to be life -threatening.

They were taken to the hospital with Jet’s Co-Pilot, which was also injured.

According to a statement sent to the band’s Instagram, Learjet Aircraft Model 25A tried to land when “for unknown reasons at this point” turned it off from the runway, causing it to collide with another parked aircraft.

Several specific details are still emerging. Neil’s manager said his “thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved” and he is grateful for the critical help of all first respondents who help with the incident.

“While details are still emerging, our hearts go out to the families of both the pilot who lost his life and the passengers suffering injuries,” the band’s representative said.

They apparently plan to advertise a way to help support the family of the deceased pilot.

TMZ Reports that Adreani, 43, broke five ribs in the crash, while the dogs she and her friend traveled with also survived. She and Neil are believed to have been together for about 14 years after meeting in 2011.
