Reuters. Emergency responders were at the scene following what authorities said was a collision between a midsize business jet and another plane at Scottsdale, Arizona on Monday (February 10), killing at least one person and injuring four others.
The business jet skidded off the runway while landing at the Scottsdale municipal airport and collided with another jet that was parked, authorities said. Fire officials did not say what caused the jet to skid off the runway.
Dozens of emergency vehicles and personnel from the Scottsdale Fire Department were seen working at the scene where the lower half of a plane fuselage laid on the tarmac.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it was investigating the crash, which it said involved a Learjet 35A that skidded off the runway, which then collided with a Gulfstream 200 jet. The incident comes at a time of heightened scrutiny of U.S. air safety.
