NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot and certified flight instructor were returning from a local instructional flight when a truck entered the active runway during landing. The wing of the airplane impacted the truck when the flight instructor attempted a go-around to avoid hitting the truck. The student pilot, flight instructor, and driver of the truck were uninjured. The truck driver did not have an available radio to receive and provide traffic advisories.

NTSB Probable Cause

The lack of radio communication with the airplane and the inadequate visual lookout by the driver of the vehicle.
