Service Truck Sends 737 On Wild Ride In DEN

Plane Knocked 90 Degrees From Parking Spot

A United Airlines 737 is heading to the body shop after a fender-bender involving a catering truck Thursday morning.

It happened on the ramp at Denver International Airport... where an Air Serv truck ran into the rear fuselage of the plane, as it was parked near the hangar overnight, according to United spokeswoman Robin Urbanski.

Evidently, it was quite a collision -- as Denver's KMGH-7 reports the impact knocked the plane 90-degrees from its parking spot.

That collision forced the delay of United Flight 112 from Denver to St. Louis... as the airline scrambled to come up with another aircraft.

Damage to the 737 is still being assessed... but we're guessing the plane will be out of commission for a little while. No word on the condition of the truck.
