1 dead, at least 3 injured after planes crash at Arizona airport on tarmac

One person was killed and at least three others were injured in Scottsdale, Arizona, after a business jet crashed into another plane after it landed on Monday.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the Learjet 35A veered off the runway as it arrived at Scottsdale Municipal Airport around 2:45 p.m. It made contact with a Gulfstream 200 business jet that was parked on private property, city officials said at a news conference.

There were five people on board the plane, according to Capt. Dave Folio of the Scottsdale Fire Department. One of passengers was pronounced dead on three others were transported to a local hospital.

First responders were still working to extricate the remaining victim from the wreckage, Folio said.

The PGA Tour’s Phoenix Open was held over the weekend in Scottsdale. It is typically one of the busiest times of year for the airport.
