Incident Overview
An aircraft was taxiing northbound along a north-south taxiway at an airport in Puerto Rico when it collided with a vehicle that was moving westbound on an east-west access road. The access road is a designated non-movement area under the control of the Puerto Rico Port Authority. The collision occurred at the intersection of the taxiway and the access road. The exact sequence of events leading to the collision has not been detailed beyond the accounts provided by the pilot and a control guard.
Pilot's Account
The pilot of the aircraft stated that he never saw the slow-moving vehicle approaching from the east. Despite the aircraft's forward visibility during taxi, the pilot reported being unaware of the vehicle's presence until the moment of impact. No further details regarding the aircraft's speed or the pilot's actions were provided.
Control Guard's Account
A control guard reported that the driver of the vehicle failed to yield at a stop sign located on the east side of the taxiway. According to the guard, the vehicle entered the intersection without stopping, leading to the collision. The stop sign is presumably intended to give right-of-way to taxiing aircraft on the taxiway.
Aftermath
The source does not specify any injuries, damage to the aircraft or vehicle, or any further investigation results. The incident remains under review by relevant authorities.
