On November 2, 1991, during a passenger flight on the route Ganja Airport - Donetsk Airport - Krasnodar Airport, while taxiing along the main taxiway at night for administrative takeoff at Ganja Airport, the crew noticed a car on the taxiway with parking lights on, speeding towards the aircraft. As the car approached, the commander applied brakes to stop the plane while flashing the headlights to attract the driver's attention. Despite attempts to maneuver further, the car collided with the left wing of the aircraft without reducing speed, damaging its structural load-bearing components. The Kraz-250 vehicle belonged to the departmental aviation. The collision resulted in the death of one of the four military personnel in the car's cabin, while the others sustained varying degrees of bodily injury. The plane has been repaired and resumed operation.
