Pics to come... A Gulfstream G200 reg N706TJ collided with a Galvin fuel truck. The wing impacted through the drivers side of the truck, apparently pinning the driver while starting a major fuel spill. More to come.

That tip tank was hungry.
Wow, Next time your shooting aircraft fuelers at dusk...don't flash the fuel driver and scare the hell out of him.
It is is also a good idea to use available light too :borat:
Seriously, Good stuff right there..... Not the incident of course, but your capture is good. Do you have a shot backed out a bit? I am sure your close up was more informative and adds pucker factor, but if you have a wider shot you can post... I would certainly like to see. Thanks for the post! :borat: 8)
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
Firefighters work to remove the pinned driver from the cab:
The driver, now successfully removed, being rushed off the a waiting ambulance:

I think its safe to say- that is one fuel truck that wont be blocking anymore shots :) (when planes flight back)

That last shot is the one I was looking for, but seeing the two guys, I just could not leave it alone.

You'd think a G2TT without hush kits would make enough noise that even in a fuel truck you couldn't miss it. Guess it's time to ban Ipod's while driving on the ramp.
Owwwwww
Hope the driver is ok.
Good catch Jeremy.
