Plane hits box truck on taxiway at RDU, airport officials say

RDU briefly shut down its airfield Wednesday afternoon after a ground collision involving an aircraft and a box truck. Airport officials said a “general aviation aircraft” and a box truck collided on a taxiway, prompting investigators to temporarily close the field. Two people were on board the aircraft and one person was driving the truck, and RDU reported no injuries. The airfield was later reopened for arriving and departing flights, indicating operations resumed shortly after the incident. The report did not provide details on aircraft type, truck make, or the extent of any damage.
