Collision
An SA227 aircraft, after landing, was taxiing northbound toward the gate with its taxi, landing, recognition, and strobe lights turned off. At the intersection of the vehicle service road and the taxiway, an eastbound fuel tanker truck failed to stop at a posted 'Stop for Aircraft' sign. The truck collided with the aircraft, partially severing its left wing.
Driver's View
The driver of the fuel tanker truck reported that he did not observe the aircraft until it was directly in front of his truck, at which point it was too late to stop. The driver's view was partially restricted: the area from the 1:30 to 2:00 position was blocked by the truck's structure, and the view from 2:00 to 3:00 was considerably obstructed by the truck's cage structure and the equipment contained within it.
Airport Regulations
Airport regulations require that 'low silhouette' aircraft taxi with their landing lights on until they are clear of taxiways and intersecting vehicle access roads.
