What was the A/C type?

[zakka]

A/C type was MD-90. Also, it looked like the left main gear was collapsed, but I don't know what happened.

HZ-APW
Saudia MD90
Written off as wing totally damaged beyond repaid
Human Error pilot tried to vacate while on high speed
the flight had only 8 crew members onboard and was a ferry flight

Another incident involving another Saudia MD90 registration HZ-API performing flight SV-1585 from Jeddah to Yanbu, struck one of its wings onto the runway while landing in Yanbu
The airplane received damage to its logo light in the wing tip. The captain has been suspended pending the result of the investigation.

I think it is to early to call it pilot error and we have to wait for the safety report, for your information the A/C that was involved in the accident had a history of maintenance problems concerning the hydraulic system as a lot of the pilots who fly on the MD-90 fleet.

I arrived minutes behind and changed to RWY15R

From my seat it appears that they had a blown main tire and exited rwy off to left of high speed into dirt and collapsed left gear damaging wing.

No injuries thank God
