Collision at MAN today...

Couldn't find this information anywhere else on the forum.

A PIA 777-200 (AP-BGY) bound for JFK and a Flybe Dash-8 (G-JEDR) were involved in a minor collision just after midday. Apparently the starboard wing of the PK aircraft clipped the rudder of the Flybe aircraft as it taxied out to runway 24R. A lot of fuss regarding this was made in Terminal 2 this afternoon amongst airport and airline officials and rumours have spread that the PK crew have since been impounded. Both aircraft were parked up on the far side of the airfield close to the cargo centre when I left the staff car park late this evening.

Does anyone have any further information to add?
