A truck has collided with an easyJet plane on the runway at Paris Orly airport, causing chaos for air travel.

The incident occurred early Monday morning, when a Scania truck collided with the rear of an Airbus A320, which was scheduled to make six flights during the day.

Dramatic footage shows extensive damage to the plane's fuselage, while the truck's windshield was shattered by the impact. According to sources, it is suspected that the driver of the vehicle may have accidentally pressed the gas pedal instead of the brakes, causing the truck to collide with the plane.

Emergency services were called to the scene after the incident was reported, and easyJet immediately launched an investigation into the cause of the accident. The plane is now grounded for security checks, causing major disruption to flight routes.

An easyJet spokesman said the plane was parked and there were no passengers on board at the time of the crash. The incident is expected to cost the airline more than €100,000 and has caused widespread concern among passengers. (A2 Televizion)
