1 D*ad, Several Injured In Scottsdale Airport Crash Involving Learjet & Gulfstream Jet

A tragic incident occurred at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona when a Bombardier Learjet veered off Runway 21 after landing and crashed into a Gulfstream 2100 business jet.

The crash, which took place at 2:45 p.m. local time, resulted in one fatality, as confirmed by Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio. “One person died upon impact,” he said in a press briefing. Additionally, three others were sent to local trauma centers.

By 4:45 p.m., one individual remained trapped on board one of the aircraft.

“We’re doing everything we can to extricate and save the one soul that’s still on board,” Folio added.

The FAA has not disclosed the exact number of passengers on the planes, and the investigation is ongoing. The airport is under a ground stop, and the Scottsdale Police Department has directed inquiries to the airport’s public information officer.
