The cause of a tragic plane crash involving a private jet owned by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has been revealed.
On Monday, it was confirmed that Scottsdale Airport was forced to close after a plane crashed into a jet on the runway, killing one person and injuring three others.
The incident occurred at approximately 2:45PM local time when a Learjet 35A veered off the runway after landing and crashed into a stationary Gulfstream 200 business jet, officials confirmed.
The jet, which is owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, 64, had been completing a private flight from Austin, Texas, when it collided with another jet on the runway after landing at 2:39PM on Monday.
There were four people on board - two pilots and two passengers - though the singer was not among the travelers.
Neil's girlfriend Rain Andreani, 43, and her friend had been traveling on the jet, and the New York Post revealed that Andreani had suffered five broken ribs as a result of the accident.

One of the pilots was pronounced dead at the scene while the other was taken to the hospital along with Neil's girlfriend and her friend.
One person was on board the Gulfstream jet at the time of the crash but was not injured in the collision.
According to a press release from the City of Scottsdale, the reason for the crash is believed to be a failure in the landing gear of the jet.
The release states: "The accident occurred at 2:39 p.m. when a Learjet 35A, arriving from Austin, veered off the runway and struck a parked Gulfstream 200.
"According to initial reports, the Learjet’s left main landing gear failed upon landing, leading to the collision.
"Airport operations staff and emergency personnel from Scottsdale Fire Station 609 responded to the scene within one minute of the collision.
"One person was pronounced dead, while three others sustained injuries and were transported to Valley hospitals for treatment. Another individual refused medical treatment."
It confirmed that Scottsdale Airport is set to remain closed until further notice as the National Transportation Safety Board takes over the investigation.
