We are used to seeing car crashes. Plane crashes do happen, although not very often. This time, however, the situation is quite different. The accident that took place on April 12 was between a car and a plane. As hard as it may sound, this event took place in Spain. Due to the accident, disruptions occurred at the airport.
Renault Clio and Boeing 737 type aircraft collided!
Recently, Alicante Airport in Spain witnessed an extremely interesting event. A rather unusual accident occurred between a Renault Clio and a Ryanair Boeing 737 aircraft. Fortunately, no injuries or serious damage were reported.
Pilot instructor and airline inspector Iván Castro Palacios on Twitter In the incident he shared, it is seen that the white Renault Clio was stuck under the plane. We understand from the logo on the Renault Clio that the vehicle belongs to the airport ground handling services.
According to the information received, the driver of the vehicle forgot to apply the handbrake after parking. Since the handbrake is not pulled, the vehicle, which takes action after a while, finds itself under the parked aircraft. It is stated that there was no one inside the plane at the time of this interesting accident.
Although the damage to the underside of the aircraft appeared minor, it was announced that it was taken to a maintenance facility for closer inspection. The plane, which was taken to the facility, was granted flight permission after making sure that everything was in order. Ryanair’s Boeing 737-800 took off from Alicante, Spain, to Manchester, England, after a 90-minute delay.
