Arrington said the crash caused a 300-gallon fuel spill.

No commercial air traffic was impacted, according to airport spokesperson Rich Stinson.

A Cessna Citation CJ3 was involved in the wreck. It left a San Jose, Calif. airport at 12:23 p.m., according to Flightaware.com, a website that tracks flight activity.

The second plane, a Cessa Citation V, had been parked on the runway since Nov. 5, according to Flightaware.com. It arrived from New Orleans that day.

Stinson said the Citation CJ3 accidentally thrusted during taxi and collided with the parked Citation V.

It is unclear how many passengers were on board either planes.
