Post Emerald 748 damaged at NCL

Emerald's G-BVOU was severaly damaged at NCL a few days ago when it's port side wing was attacked by a wayward Post Office van. Apparently the van was driven across the stand with the front corner of the van hitting the wing of the 748. The wing ended up embedded in the van by about a foot-and-a-half with the rear-facing flaps ending up pointing skywards. I mention this because there's a thread on PPRUNE elsewhere that talks about ground handling staff damaging aircraft. Have there been any other recent incidents of non-airport staff doing the same thing?
