From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

When the ground service personnel was attempting to position the baggage loader at the foward cargo door. The baggage loader drove the vehicle under the aircraft. This damaged the belly of the aircraft to include antennas. A large dent was put on the aircraft just foward of the foward cargo door.
