A DHC-8-400 belonging to Aerocontractors Nigeria was parked on the ramp at Lagos' Murtala Muhammed Airport, Nigeria. As passengers were boarding the aircraft, a baggage loader vehicle rammed through the pressurized area of the lower fuselage
section of the cargo compartment on the port side of the aircraft, damaging its skin, stringers and the baggage loader vehicle.
The vehicle stopped at a distance of about 110 ft from the incident aircraft. The personnel who drove the baggage loader sustained
serious injuries from the impact resulting in the loss of consciousness.
