Read the full NTSB narrative
After landing and clearing the outer parallel runway, the biplane pilot was directed by the ground controller to taxi across the inner parallel runway, 'without delay'. The biplane pilot complied with the instructions and his airplane collided with a Cessna trainer who was holding short on the taxiway waiting takeoff clearance from the inner parallel runway.
