Jeep Hits Jet At Teterboro Airport
Driver Sustains Minor Injuries, Jet Minor Damage
(AP) TETERBORO, N.J. There was no fire or fuel spill when a Jeep struck a Lear jet parked at Teterboro Airport this morning.
The Port Authority said that the vehicle, driven by an 18-year-old woman, crashed through the fence along the airport's perimeter off Industrial Avenue.
The vehicle hit the jet's wing tip.
Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco says the driver sustained minor injuries. DiFulco says he believes the jet sustained minor damage.
The accident comes nearly a year after a corporate jet overran the departure end of a runway at Teterboro during an aborted takeoff attempt. The jet crashed through a fence, hit two cars as it crossed a road and slammed into a warehouse. Four people were seriously injured in that accident.
