The police report indicates that Razzle was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Vince Neil, the lead singer of Mötley Crüe. The two musicians had reportedly been at a party celebrating Hanoi Rocks’ first U.S. tour. After the party, Neil and Razzle decided to drive to a nearby liquor store. However, Neil lost control of the vehicle, a 1972 Ford Pantera, which then collided with oncoming traffic.

Razzle was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital, while Neil sustained minor injuries. The police have confirmed that Neil was driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. He has been arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter.

In the aftermath of the accident, Hanoi Rocks’ guitarist Andy McCoy expressed his grief and anger. He criticized the circumstances leading to Razzle’s death and emphasized the impact on the band’s future. McCoy also revealed that he had not received an apology from Vince Neil. “I’ve never even got as much as an apology from that [expletive],” McCoy stated in a recent interview.

The tragic event has also sparked discussions about the consequences of driving under the influence. Advocates for road safety are using this incident as a reminder of the dangers associated with impaired driving and the irreversible consequences it can have.
