What happened
During operations at Tunica Airport, an aircraft was taxiing toward its parking spot following a landing performed in heavy rainfall. While vacating the runway to reach the ramp, the pilot's aircraft struck a stationary Cessna 188, which carried the registration N8196V.
The impact caused both involved aircraft to ignite. The resulting fire led to the total loss of both airframes. The pilot of the moving aircraft managed to exit the cockpit without any injuries, while the parked Cessna was empty at the time of the collision.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor in the accident was the pilot's failure to maintain adequate lookout and avoid the stationary aircraft on the taxiway.
