Eight people were injured after an Aeromexico aircraft hit a service truck on the ground at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday afternoon. The Boeing 737 aircraft, which originated in Mexico City, had just landed at LAX at around 2:30 p.m. when it's right wing clipped the truck.
The collision caused the truck to overturn on the airfield and all injured parties were in the truck when the incident occurred. Although the injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening, one man was trapped inside the vehicle and needed to be rescued by firefighters, according to L.A.'s KABC-7 TV.
