A collision between a truck and an aircraft at LaGuardia Airport occurred because the truck did not have a functioning transponder, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. Without this device, the plane’s ground proximity warning system was unable to detect the vehicle, contributing to the incident. The NTSB is investigating the circumstances surrounding the event, including how the truck gained access to the restricted area and why safety protocols failed to prevent the accident.
