Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil’s company recently filed a lawsuit against the city of Scottsdale after a fatal plane crash that occurred in February last year, as reported by 12News.
The lawsuit claimed that the airport bears partial responsibility for the tragic incident that resulted in the death of a pilot and the destruction of two aircraft.
“A company owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil is suing the city of Scottsdale, claiming the airport bears partial responsibility for a February 2025 plane crash that killed a pilot and destroyed two aircraft,” 12News reported.
“Neil was not on board when his plane skidded off the runway and slammed into a second parked plane. The 78-year-old pilot did not survive.”
It has been reported that Neil’s aircraft skidded off the runway and collided with a parked plane. The rock star was not aboard at the time of the incident.
The legal battle around the February 2025 crash has expanded beyond Neil’s initial lawsuit. It reveals broader concerns about airport safety protocols and aircraft positioning at Scottsdale Airport.
Reports suggest that Neil’s company, Chromed in Hollywood, alleged that Scottsdale Airport allowed the other jet to park in an area federal rules say should be kept clear of aircraft. The parked Gulfstream was reportedly inside a designated object-free zone. This raises questions about the airport’s compliance with federal aviation safety standards.
