## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE PILOT OF N4651V HAD JUST LANDED AND WAS EXITING THE RUNWAY WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP HIS AIRCRAFT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP INITIALLY AS HIS AIRCRAFT WAS BEING PUSHED BY N3793F WHO HAD JUST IMPACTED HIM. AFTER STOPPING, THE PILOT EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AND THEN SAW THE RESULT OF THE COLLISION THAT HAD OCCURRED.
