A pretty unusual accident happened at the Alicante Airport in Spain when a Renault Clio crashed on a Boeing 737 aircraft of Ryanair. Thankfully there were no injuries or serious damage involved.
As noted on Twitter by the pilot instructor and airline investigator Iván Castro Palacios, the incident occurred on April 12. Judging from the look of the suspension it seems that the white Clio got stuck under the airplane after hitting the underside of the fuselage with its roof.

The vehicle belongs to the Ground Force and according to AirLive the driver forgot to apply the handbrake when parking. As a result, the driverless Renault rolled itself towards the parked plane with the unfortunate outcome. Likewise, there were no passengers inside the aircraft at the time of the collision.
While the cosmetic damage to the underside of the aircraft appears to be minor, it was reportedly taken to the maintenance facility for closer inspection. After the specialists made sure everything was ok, Ryanair’s Boeing 737-800 embarked on its trip with a 90-minute delay, flying from Alicante, Spain, to Manchester, UK.
