A truck crashed into a plane on Sunday, leaving the truck driver injured and the plane damaged.
A truck collided with the wing of a parked cargo plane at Salt Lake City International Airport on Saturday evening. Part of the wing went crashing through the truck's windshield, injuring the driver. The airport truck driver was hospitalized after the incident, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The collision sent fuel from the plane's wing leaking onto the tarmac. Hazardous materials crews from the Salt Lake City Fire Department were woking to clean up the spill.
It is not clear how the incident occurred. There was heavy fog in the area earlier in the day, but it did some appear to be a factor in the crash.
The driver's name was not released and his condition is not clear, but he was taken to Intermountain Medical Center by ambulance to be treated.
This isn't the first time a parked plane was damaged due to a collision recently. Two planes were damaged in December at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport when the wingtip of a taxiing plane hit the tail of a parked plane.
In November, an opposite incident occurred when a plane crashed into a truck. A small plane hit a truck on the runway during takeoff, caught fire and crashed into the woods near a coastal Maine airport, killing three.
