FAA spokesman Mike Fergus says the jet apparently was taxiing to a runway when the wing tip on the pilot's side hit the fuel truck. He says there was no fuel leak.
Rescue crews were able to get the truck driver out by cutting through the truck's roof. He was described as injured but alert and conscious during the rescue. Details on his condition were not available.
The plane is a Grumman turbo-jet registered to Jetstar Air Inc., of Beverly Hills, Calif. The truck was from Galvin Flying Services.
The collision is under investigation.
A spokesman for Galvin Flying Services declined to discuss the driver's condition or any details of the crash.

Good thing the truck driver only sustained minor injuries. It's best for assigned personnel to check the area thoroughly during night time. That damaged plane can affect scheduled for departure and arrival. Well, I just hope everything turned out fine.
