photo N511QS sorry, I hadn't noticed I forgot to update the story. At the time of the accident I didn't know for sure it was a bizjet that was hit - which is why I didn't post in 'corporate'.

Accident - a catering truck driven by a 60 year old employee - drove into the wing of a NetJets Gulfstream V - N511QS that had been parked overnight on the Signature ramp at KSFO. Impact decapitated the driver - damage to the Gulfstream is unknown - other than it is undergoing repairs - no one else was involved - accident occurred Saturday at 05:30 .

This is not the accident photo, this was a Gulfstream II-TT that hit a fuel truck at KBFI Boeing Field two years ago - the driver ducked!!, was injured - but survived.
