Tuesday afternoon massport operations advised me of an incident involving an American eagle maintenance van and an American eagle Embraer Emb-135-LR, on gate B23 in Boston. Upon my arrival, an American eagle maintenance van, aerodrome permit #2914, vehicle #P57149, was backed up against the trailing edge of the inboard right wing of an Embraer, N707EB, causing slight damage to the flap fairing and flap assembly. Inspectors statement: the state police and myself spoke with American eagle supervisory privacy data omitted who explained to us that the driver who caused the accident had left the scene. I spoke to the mechanic who did maintenance on the aircraft and he explained that he drove the van over to the maintenance trailer and shifted it in park and placed the emergency brake on. Then he walked inside of the trailer to fill out paper work. The next thing he knew a crewmember from the aircraft came into the trailer to advise that the aircraft was hit by the van.
