Plane, truck collide at Miami airport
The Associated Press

MIAMI - An American Airlines flight and a catering
truck collided at Miami International Airport on
Sunday, causing damage to both the plane and truck.

About 200 passengers were aboard the flight to Madrid
when the collision occurred Sunday evening, Miami
International Airport spokesman Marc Henderson said.
There were no injuries, American Airlines spokesman
Tim Wagner said.

Henderson said he did not know the specifics of the
collision.

"I don't know whether or not the truck hit the plane
or the plane hit the truck," he said.

Wagner said the plane was being pushed away from its
gate Sunday when the collision occurred.

"Nobody was injured on either the aircraft or the
truck, but there was damage to the back of the
aircraft and to the truck as well," Wagner said.

Wagner said damage to the plane was "extensive," but
said he did not know how much it would cost to fix the
aircraft.

He said the passengers and 12 crew members aboard the
flight were taken off the plane. The passengers were
scheduled to leave for Madrid later Sunday night on
another aircraft, Wagner said.
