The NTSB's narrative for the Bombardier BD100 1A10 final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot of the multi-engine airplane reported that, after landing he was taxiing via taxiway S to the parking area near the fixed based operator located near taxiway A. As the airplane approached the ramp, the pilot looked to the marshaller to start the right turn. During the turn, the marshaller gave the stop signal when the airplane’s left wing collided with the rudder of a single-engine airplane that was holding at the short line to runway 25 at taxiway A. The multi-engine airplane received minor damage to the left wing. The single-engine airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder. Neither flight crew reported that there were any preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with their airplane’s that would have precluded normal operation.
The complete narrative as the NTSB published it. The NTSB's docket holds the report as a PDF and any photographs, statements and other documents from the investigation.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number WPR22LA201.
