Read the full NTSB narrative
Two airplanes were taxiing to the run up area of the airfield. A Cessna 172N, piloted by a student pilot, had departed a terminal ramp without obtaining proper clearance and was taxiing down the parallel taxiway. A Cessna 172S, piloted by a private pilot, had been cleared to taxi and crossed the active runway. The private pilot had his attention diverted to the run up area to his left, did not look right as he approached the parallel taxiway, and did not see the 172N. The student pilot saw the 172S as she taxied, but thought the other plane would stop and did not take any action to avoid the other airplane. The 172S collided with the 172N resulting in substantial damage to the 172N. The tower controller was monitoring a different area of the airfield and did not see the converging airplanes.
