What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)N924HA began to taxi from the crw gate area, where it had been parked overnight, and had two (2) us airways ramp personnel marshaling the aircraft. The marshaler on the left wing misjudged the distance between the wing tip of N924HA and the rudder of N816MA, which was parked and unoccupied. The left wing marshaler signaled the PIC on N924HA to stop, but the signal came too late and the wingtip and rudder made contact. The damage on N924HA was confied to scratched paint and a broken static wick. N816MA suffered a small bend in the trailing edge of the rudder. Both aircraft were inspected by maintenance personnel and deemed airworthy. The left wing ramp marshaler was sent for drug/alcohol screening, with results being negative.
