## Narrative

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

A NEW JET BRIDGE WAS BEING INSTALLED ON GATE E23.  THE CONSTRUCTION CREW MOVED THE JERSEY BARRIER CLOSER TOWARDS GATE E21 WHERE FLIGHT 4940 AIRCRAFT 654AE WAS SCHEDULED TO DEPART. WHEN THE FUEL TRUCK ARRIVED, THE DRIVER GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK  AND MOVED THE WINGTIP CONE UNDER THE WING.  THE DRIVER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT ROOM TO GET BY THE CONE WITHOUT HITTING IT.  AFTER FUELING, THE DRIVER DROVE FORWARD PAST THE WINGTIP.  WHEN HE TURNED TOWARDS THE AIRCRAFT, THE TANKER PART OF THE TRUCK HIT THE RIGHT WINGTIP. THE WINGTIP LIGHT WAS DAMAGED.

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.
