The crash occurred Monday, Feb. 10 at Scottsdale Airport when Neil's jet veered off the runway while landing, colliding with another aircraft.

Airport officials reported that emergency responders arrived quickly, and the airport temporarily closed its runways during the investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that the left main landing gear of the plane malfunctioned, leading to the collision.

The jet involved is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, a company owned by Neil. Further details about the crash are still under investigation.
