Read the full NTSB narrative

THE CARGO TRUCK DRIVER HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS BEHIND THE AIRCRAFT WHICH HE STRUCK. THE RAMP AREA DID NOT HAVE ANY FLOOD LIGHTS. THE AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, WING TIP, AND WING FLOOD LIGHTS WERE ON. THE NO. 3 ENGINE WAS STARTED AND THE OTHER ENGINES WERE BEING STARTED. THE CARGO DRIVER STARTED HIS TRUCK AND PULLED FORWARD FROM BETWEEN TWO PARKED TRUCKS. AS HE DROVE PAST A MECHANIC WHO WAS OPERATING THE AIR START CART AT THE RIGHT REAR OF THE AIRCRAFT HE TURNED AND WAVED TO THE MECHANIC. AS THE DRIVER TURNED BACK AROUND THE TRUCK STRUCK THE REAR OF THE RIGHT WING TIP WITH THE LEFT WINDSHIELD AREA. PORTIONS OF THE AIRCRAFT WING REMAINED EMBEDDED IN THE TRUCK CAB. THE DRIVER RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES. THE TRUCK ROLLED FOR ANOTHER 400 FEET BEFORE IT STRUCK AN AIRCRAFT TUG WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO ANOTHER AIRCRAFT AND CAME TO REST.
