After landing in night visual meteorological conditions, the commuter flight proceeded to taxi to the ramp. Upon coming to a service road perpendicular to the taxiway, a vehicle moved directly across the airplane’s taxi path. The flight crew immediately applied brakes to stop. While braking, the airplane’s tail rocked aft and struck the ground. The flight crew contacted ground control to inform them about the vehicle incident and resumed taxi to the ramp, and the driver of the vehicle radioed the tower, informing them that he had cut off an aircraft. An inspection of the airplane by the operator revealed structural damage to the aft pressure bulkhead resulting from the tail strike.
Probable Cause: The failure of the driver of the service vehicle to yield to the taxiing airplane, which resulted in a near-collision and tail strike.
