What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)As stated by the captain: we requested and received clearance to taxi to runway 6 via taxiway alpha. Moments later we were also cautioned about men and equipment in the vicinity to taxiway alpha. We noticed the maintenance truck parked on the right side of the taxiway just outside of the double yellow taxiway boundary lines, facing toward us but pointed at a 45 degree angle to the truck driver's left. The location on the airport was approximately 30 feet southwest of the intersection of taxiway alpha and alpha 2. There was an aiport vehicle parked in the vicinity of the maintenance truck (parked ahead but in the grass between runway 6 and taxiway alpha) to the taxiway side of the truck. As the cockpit passed the truck, 1 saw 2 men next to the truck facing the aircraft. The first officer was turned and looking as FAR as possible from my vantage point, looking across the cockpit, I flet like we had the necessary clearance to safely pass by the truck, then the collision occurred.
