Nobody was injured.

Inadequate visual lookout by the pilot, which resulted in his failure to see and avoid the fuel truck. Related factors were the truck and the pilot was unfamiliar with that area.

Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot flew to the airport to pick up his father. He said that he had touched down on runway 19, and was taxiing back to the runway, when he saw his father at the end of the taxiway on the left. The airplane was travelling on the center line of the taxiway, when its right wing tip struck a fuel truck that was parked in front of another airplane, that was tied down. The pilot was not from the area.
