## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS TAXIING TO THE RUNWAY AND THERE WERE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TAXIWAY.  THE PILOT DEPARTED THE CENTERLINE OF THE TAXIWAY WHILE TRYING TO AVOID A TRUCK OFF OF HIS LEFT.  THE RIGHT WINGTIP OF THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A TRUCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TAXIWAY CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.
