A midsize business jet collided with another midsize business jet that was parked on private property, according to Kelli Kuester, aviation planning and outreach coordinator at the Scottsdale Airport.
At least one person was killed and others were injured when private jets collided Monday afternoon at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona, authorities said.
He said one person was still trapped in one of the planes and that “we're doing everything we can to extricate and save the one soul that’s still on board.”.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the private jet that collided with the parked plane had veered off the runway.
The airport is a popular hub for jets coming in and out of the Phoenix area, especially during big sports weekends like the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament, which attracts huge crowds just a few miles away.
