Analysis
The BE-A36 was holding short of rwy 18. The C-310 was taxiing to also hold short & collided with the BE-A36. The position & strobe lights on the BE-A36 were illuminated. The plt of the C-310 indicated that he did not see the BE-A36 because of what he described as a lot of lights in the vicinity. Measurement of the right main gear tire skidmark of the C-310 on the taxiway pavement showed about 40 ft of tire skidmarks to the point of impact with the BE-A36.
