Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil is sending “thoughts and prayers” after his plane hit a parked one belonging to Vince Vaughn, killing at least one and hospitalizing others.

Vitosky, 78, was a Marine veteran who had six decades of experience under his belt and had been flying Neil for years. In an interview with the Arizona Republic, his daughter, Jana Schertzer, credited her father's skill with saving the lives of the rest of the people onboard.

Pilot of the private aircraft has died, while the frontman’s girlfriend reportedly broke five ribs in the crash and has been taken to hospital
