Read the full NTSB narrative
The B-737, N13624, was parked on taxiway D waiting for departure clearance. The B-767, LNRCK, was behind the B-737 but had received its departure clearance first. The B-767 was instructed by ATC to taxi past the B-737 and to the active runway. In the process of doing this maneuver, the left wing tip of the B-767 impacted the right horizontal stabilizer and elevator of the B-737. According to the B-737 captain the configuration of the airplane at the time of impact was, '...On [the] taxiway centerline, parking brake set, #1 engine running only (due to atc delays), and apu running.' After impact the B-737 captain shut down the engine and the auxillary power unit. There were no fuel leaks, and neither airplane required evacuation of the passengers. The B-767 flightcrew did not provide an account of the accident, despite several requests.
