What happened
During after landing ground operations, an aircraft collided with a parked semi-trailer on the taxiway. The semi-trailer had been moved from an airport construction site under the guidance of a contracted escort service.
The incident occurred when the escort vehicle led the semi-trailer along the shoulder of the taxiway rather than following established transit routes. During this movement, the semi-trailer struck a concrete bumper, prompting the driver to stop the vehicle to inspect for potential damage. At the time of the collision, the semi-trailer was positioned approximately 100 feet from the edge of the taxiway. The flight crew reported that they believed they had sufficient clearance to taxi past the stationary trailer until immediately before the impact occurred, at which point the aircraft's left wing made contact with the trailer.
There were no injuries reported in this event.
