Southwest Airlines confirmed the details that flight 5122 originating from Houston Hobby to Jacksonville made contact with a light pole during taxing.

“During that maneuvering, it appears the left wing-tip of the aircraft made contact with an off-pavement light pole,” a spokesperson for Southwest said. “The aircraft was reviewed before being towed to a gate and now is removed from service for additional maintenance.”

Air traffic control was directing the plane’s crew to a holding pad awaiting gate clearance before the accident took place.
