## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 3, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 1137 LOCAL TIME, AN EMBRARER 145 AIRCRAFT, OPERATED BY EXPRESSJET, AT NEWARK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LOCATED AT GATE 26X, WAS BEING PUSHED BACK FROM THE GATE AND STRUCK A CATERING TRUCK PARKED BEHIND THE AIRCRAFT.  THE FORCE OF THE COLLISION CAUSED THE TRUCK TO END UP ON IT'S SIDE. NO REPORTED INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR CREW.  PASSENGERS DEPLANED NORMALLY, AND THE CATERING TRUCK DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, WE OBSERVED DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT APU COWLING, AND BOTTOM PORTION OF THE RUDDER.  EXPRESSJET MAINTENANCE REMOVED THE COWLING AND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE WAS NOTICED ON THE APU AND MOUNTS.

THE PILOT'S DATE OF BIRTH, HIGHEST CERTIFICATE MAINTAINED AND ALL PILOT

HOURS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT.  IF THIS INFORMATION IS OBTAINED AN AMMENDMENT WILL BE CREATED.

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.
