Previous Occurrences
According to the investigation, similar mishaps of this nature have occurred before at the same location. The recurring nature of these incidents prompted further action.
Corrective Measures
Following a telephone conversation with the Director of Operations at Love Field, steps will be taken to better distinguish the intersection of Alpha runway and the access road. These measures aim to prevent future occurrences of such collisions.
