At approximately 1604 EDT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, an Airbus 320, N527J, who was #2 departing LGA for JAX on taxiway B, was struck by an airport vehicle on the right landing gear.

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.
