Two jets collided at an Arizona airport, killing at least one and injuring others on Monday afternoon, according to reports. The crash happened when a Learjet 35A landed and veered off the runway, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. AZ Family reported that the jet then hit a parked Gulfstream 200. In a press conference, Scottsdale Fire Department said that one person was dead on arrival, two brought to a trauma center and another to a local hospital, and one person was still stuck in the plane. The flight was coming from Austin, according to the outlet. “We do not know how many people were on board,” the agency wrote. “The FAA is temporarily pausing flights into the airport.” The news comes after multiple plane crashes the past few weeks, frightening travelers across the country. On Jan. 29, a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines aircraft near Ronald Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people on board both aircraft. Then, days later, a small medical jet crashed near a shopping mall in Northeast Philadelphia. Seven people were killed and dozens injured.
