The Scottsdale Airport collision has resulted in multiple casualties, with two victims transported to trauma centers and one in stable condition at a local hospital.
Scottsdale Fire Department Captain Dave Folio confirmed ongoing rescue efforts to extract one person trapped inside one of the aircraft.
Airport authorities have indefinitely closed the runway following the incident. The closure significantly impacts operations at this key aviation hub, which typically serves high volumes of private jet traffic during major events like the nearby Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament.
