GATE AGENT INJURED WHEN COLLIDED WITH THE WING OF A PARKED BEECH 1900.

Narrative

WHILE ON A 15 MIN TURNAROUND IN NASHVILLE; THE CAPT WENT INSIDE TO GET PAPERWORK WHILE I WAS CLEANING OUT THE AIRPLANE. ALL PAX FROM PREVIOUS FLT WERE OFF AND THE NEW PAX HAD NOT BEEN BOARDED. A GATE AGENT CAME OUT AND GAVE ME PART OF THE PAPERWORK AND INFORMED ME AN FAA SAFETY INSPECTOR WAS UPSTAIRS AND WAS GOING TO RIDE TO LIT WITH US. HE WANTED TO KNOW WHEN HE COULD COME DOWN. I TOLD HER TO WAIT UNTIL I INFORMED THE CAPT. I WAS AT THE TOP OF THE ACFT STAIRS; SHE WAS AT THE BOTTOM. I TURNED AROUND AND BEGAN CLEANING TRASH OUT OF THE COCKPIT; WHEN I HEARD A LOUD THUMP; FELT THE PLANE SHAKE; AND HEARD A YELL (THIS WAS A FEW MOMENTS AFTER I BEGAN CLEANING THE COCKPIT). I LOOKED OUT THE DOOR AND SAW THE GATE AGENT ON THE GND NEXT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. AS SHE GOT UP SHE SAID 'HELP ME;' AND THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF BLOOD COMING FROM A WOUND ABOVE HER L EYE. OTHER GND PERSONNEL CAME TO HELP AND WE TOOK HER TO THE SIDE OF THE TERMINAL. WE SAT HER DOWN; GOT PAPER TOWELS TO PUT ON THE WOUND; AND CALLED AN AMBULANCE AND THE ARPT MEDICS. SHE REMAINED CONSCIOUS THE ENTIRE TIME; BUT A LITTLE DAZED. THE MEDICS CAME WITHIN 2 MINS AND LOOKED AFTER HER UNTIL THE AMBULANCE CAME. MY CAPT NOTIFIED OUR COMPANY ABOUT THE INCIDENT RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED.
