Location: Daytona Beach, FL
Accident Number: GAA19CA498A
Date & Time: 08/17/2019, 2139 EDT
Registration: N408ER
Aircraft: Cessna 172
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Ground collision
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Instructional 

According to the landing pilot, she landed, and expedited her exit from the runway via Sierra 1 for taxiway Sierra. She had been cleared by tower to cross runway 16 and to proceed to the runup area for another departure from runway 25. Established on taxiway Sierra, she entered the intersection at taxiway Echo and the airplane was struck from the left by an airplane that entered the intersection via taxiway Echo.

The pilot that entered the intersection via taxiway Echo was communicating with ground and continued into the intersection and made a left turn onto taxiway Sierra. He reported that he had, "double checked" to his left and his right, prior to entering the intersection, but his airplane's propeller struck the left wing of another airplane.

According to ATC recordings, ground contacted the airplane taxing on taxiway Echo for taxiway Sierra and asked, "Do you have the traffic off to your right side?" The next two ground transmissions were stepped on, and the airplane entered the intersection and collided with the airplane already established on taxiway Sierra.

The airplane established on taxiway Sierra sustained substantial damage to the left wing

Both pilots reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
