Narrative:
The Cessna 560XLS+ Citation XLS+ corporate jet sustained serious damage to the left-hand wing leading edge when it collided with an airport vehicle. The aircraft was moving along taxiway Y in night-time conditions. The vehicle fell over and the driver was injured.

The cause of the accident is attributable to the airport operator driving the ramp vehicle not following the priorities established by the current airport procedures.
The following factors might have significantly contributed to the failure to adhere to the horizontal signage:
- self-induced haste in finding a suitable ladder for the safe disembarking of passengers from a flight that had already arrived at the parking;
- the lighting conditions in the area of the incident, which could have caused a suboptimal perception of the lights of the taxiing aircraft by the operator driving the tractor.
