Two aircraft collided on the tarmac at Miami International Airport in the United States, leaving two people injured.
The incident occurred around 9:15 PM local time on Saturday (November 14) and involved passenger carrier Copa Airlines and cargo operator UPS Airlines.
According to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the nose of a UPS Boeing 767 struck the upper section of the wing of a Copa Airlines Boeing 737 while both aircraft were taxiing to park.
Miami International Airport Communications Director Greg Chin confirmed that two individuals sustained injuries in the collision.
A passenger aboard the Copa Airlines flight told CNN that the aircraft was moving at a normal speed toward its parking bay after landing when the incident unfolded. "I heard a loud noise approaching us, and people started screaming in panic right before the other plane struck ours," the passenger said.
"Those of us inside felt a sudden, violent jolt. Some passengers initially panicked, though the Copa Airlines crew quickly calmed everyone down and kept them seated," the passenger added.
Air traffic controllers at Miami International Airport noted that the UPS aircraft had been instructed to yield the right of way to the Copa Airlines jet. Aviation authorities have launched an investigation to determine why the UPS pilot failed to give way, resulting in the collision.
