A driver was rescued from a mangled fuel truck after crashing into a parked American Airlines airplane on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday, airport officials said.
Firefighters had to cut the steering wheel to free the man, who was pinned by his right leg, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The driver was taken to the hospital in fair condition, firefighters said. Aerial footage showed the driver being carted away on an ambulance stretcher.
There were no passengers aboard the Boeing 757 at the time of the crash, LAX spokeswoman Nancy Castles said. It was unclear how the collision happened.
Fire officials said there was no fire and no significant fuel leak.
