As Cessna 172N, N733HC, was being taxied for takeoff, it collided with Cessna 152, N94912, that was standing with its engine operating. The Cessna 172 was initially positioned behind the Cessna 152 in the runup area. After completing his runup, the solo student pilot of the Cessna 172 contacted the tower and received clearance for an 'immediate' takeoff. He attempted to pass to the right of the Cessna 152; however, the left wing tip of the Cessna 172 contacted the rudder of the Cessna 152. Subsequently, the Cessna 172 pivoted left, and its propeller struck the right wing tip of the Cessna 152.
