Video shows Baltimore bakery truck hit by United plane landing at Newark Airport

A Baltimore truck driver for H&S Bakery was en route to a depot in Newark on Sunday when a United Airlines plane carrying 221 people struck his truck on the New Jersey Turnpike.

No one on the flight was injured. The truck driver was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries and was released shortly afterward, The Associated Press reported.

Dashboard camera footage from the truck, obtained by WJZ, captured the moment when a landing tire on United Airlines Flight 169 — headed to Newark Liberty International Airport from Venice, Italy — broke through the windshield.

The driver, Warren Boardley Jr., was traveling to a Schmidt Baking Co. depot and about to exit the turnpike when the truck was hit, Chuck Paterakis, senior vice president of transportation and logistics and co-principal at Baltimore-based H&S Bakery, told WJZ, a media partner of The Banner.

The driver was treated for injuries from glass in his arm and hand, according to WJZ.

A representative from H&S Bakery declined to comment further.

Officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey told AP that the Boeing 767 sustained minor damage and landed safely.

The National Transportation Safety Board said an investigator would arrive in Newark on Monday and that it had directed United to provide the cockpit voice and flight data recorders for the investigation. A preliminary report is expected within 30 days, the agency said.

The father of the truck driver told WJZ that his son was rattled but grateful to be alive.

“Right now, we are blessed to have him. He’s alive,” said Warren Boardley Sr., a well-known figure in Baltimore’s boxing community. “The mental things he’s going through, and the physical stuff, all of that should pass, the physical at least. The mental will stay with you a long time.”

Boardley Sr. said that his son has driven the route five days a week for seven years, and called him after the accident in “total shock.” He said his son experienced pain all over, including head and internal injuries.

“Out of all the things in the world, a plane?” the father told WJZ. “You can’t prepare for that. You can prepare for another driver doing something, but a plane? That’s unbelievable.”
