## Narrative

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

AT 07:40 ENVOY 3137, EMB-145, IMPACTED A CITY OF CHICAGO VEHICLE WHILE TAXIING TO THE GATE.  IMPACT OCCURRED ON TAXIWAY H NEAR A1.  RIGHT REAR CAB OF PICKUP TRUCK WAS DAMAGED.  LH LEADING EDGE OF AIRCRAFT WAS DAMAGED.

RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION:

FROM ALL GATHERED EVIDENCE IT APPEARS THE CITY OPERATIONS TRUCK WAS MOVING AWAY FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND DID NOT SEE THE AIRCRAFT BEHIND HIM.  THE TRUCK DID NOT GIVE WAY BECAUSE HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE AIRCRAFTS POSITION.  THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN CONTACT WITH AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL NOR WAS IT EQUIPPED WITH A TRANSPONDER.  THE CREW SAW A WHITE CITY TRUCK MOVING ON THE TAXIWAY AND TOOK ACTION TO AVOID IT BUT WAS UNABLE AND IMPACTED THE TRUCK ON THE LEFT WING.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
