"According to the Federal Aviation Administration, a single-engine Cessna 150 collided on the ground with a Cessna 525 CitationJet. Preliminary investigation indicates that the Cessna 150 was attempting to take off at 5:09 p.m. when it struck the tail of the Citation, which had just landed."

Operating on intersecting runways I'd guess?

Nope, parallels.

Nope, parallels.

There is more than one Marion Airport. This is KMZZ

 

[Richman]

Nope, parallels.

My data shows crossing runways. 4-22 and 15-33.

Because sarcasm is so easy to identify in a non visual, non audio format.

You’re dealing with aviation minded people. Nothing is “quite obvious” to people who will argue adnauseum about minutia.

Ugh! This one sucks - I lost a couple of close friends in a similar sort of accident involving intersecting runways. I hate going into uncontrolled fields in the jet...

RIP to the fallen,

It certainly looks like the accident happened at the runway intersection. The resting position has the jet on the main runway with the nose pointing toward the intersection, however the skidmarks show a significant uncontrolled movement. It's possible the jet rotated 180 degrees as a result of the impact.
