I don't believe either aircraft commander was to blame here
Stallwarner get a life!. Whatever clearance the commander of the 767 received to proceed to Victor Alpha, he still has the job of ensuring that he has sufficient clearance from those lined up at Tango one to proceed safely. In other words there is no excuse for hitting anything in a 767 from a lampost to a 737.

I understand that the 737 is write off and fit only for scrap due to the torsional distortion caused by the bending in the fuselage.

Woudn't want to be BMIBaby's insurers, or the 767 Captain right now!
