Delta Air Line Jet And Fuel Truck Collide On Runway
CNN reports a fuel truck crashed into a Delta Air Line MD-88 at New York’s LaGuardia airport Sunday afternoon with about 106 passengers and 5 crew members were on board. Fortunately, no one was injured in the mishap – the plane was not moving at the time.
The fuel truck driver was treated at the hospital for a cut on the head. Flight 2979 was on the tarmac preparing for a flight to Ft. Lauderdale but had to be because one of the jet’s wings was damage in the collision.
Until the investigation is complete, authorities are not releasing how fast the fuel truck was traveling when it hit the aircraft.
