Footage of the incident circulating on social media showed a jet colliding head-on with a stationary plane on a runway.

“According to initial reports, the Learjet’s left main landing gear failed upon landing, leading to the collision,” the City of Scottsdale said.

Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky issued a statement on Monday: “On behalf of the city of Scottsdale, we offer our deepest condolences to those involved in the accident and for those who have been taken to our trauma centre for treatment. We will keep all affected by this tragedy in our prayers.”

“I would also like to thank our first responder community for their quick action and service in this situation,” she said.

In a statement, Neil’s representative Worrick Robinson IV said it was not known at this time why the Learjet veered off the runway.

“Mr Neil’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today,” Robinson said.

The FAA confirmed it is investigating the incident together with the US National Transport Safety Board.
