BA A319 winglet strike at LHR

While at work today i heard that there was an incident involving a BA A319 (G-EUPF) on stand 461 T4 where a cargo vehicle struck the winglet on the right wing before passengers boarded the aircraft BA718 ZRH. when i drove past it, there didnt seem like any damage and after close inspection they cleared it for passenger service. wondering if anyone else heard of this?

A BA A319 winglet was changed two days ago after being hit by a lorry. Perhaps you were getting the wrong story?
