Incident Overview
According to information from the FAA, a taxiway collision occurred between two aircraft at an airport. N7617F, a Piper PA-28, had landed and was proceeding northbound to the ramp via a north-south taxiway. N140ER, a Socata TB-9, was taxiing westbound on an east-west taxiway that was parallel to runway 7L and located on the north side of that runway. The taxiways intersected on the north side of runway 7L.
ATC Instructions
The ground controller had cleared N7617F to cross runway 7L, but instructed the pilot to 'give way' (hold short of the east-west taxiway) for N140ER to pass in front of him from right to left. According to tower personnel, N7617F failed to comply with this instruction.
Collision Sequence
Subsequently, the two airplanes converged, and the right wing of N7617F and the propeller of N140ER collided. The pilot of N7617F stated that when he saw the other airplane, he applied 'as much brakes as he could without losing control of the aircraft.' The pilots of N140ER, a flight instructor and student, heard the ground controller instruct N7617F to give way to them. When they realized the other airplane was not going to stop, the instructor applied brakes and tried to turn the airplane to avoid a collision.
