Incident Overview
A Cessna 172 and a Cessna 210N collided while taxiing at an airport. The C-172 was taxiing along a 75-foot-wide parallel taxiway after landing. The C-210N was taxiing from a ramp area to its departure runway. The route of the C-210N intersected the C-172's path on the parallel taxiway, where the collision occurred.
Pilot Reports and Actions
Both pilots reported that fuel trucks obstructed their view of each other. However, neither pilot adjusted taxi speeds. The pilot of the C-210N stopped the aircraft after intruding 17 feet onto the parallel taxiway. According to position and time data derived from ATC transcripts, the C-172 traveled 3,300 feet in 93 seconds, equating to a speed greater than 24 mph. The C-172 did not attempt to stop; instead, it accelerated and unsuccessfully swerved to avoid the collision.
Damage
The wing of the C-172 passed over the propeller of the C-210N, severing the wing tip of the C-172.
