Can't read it as it's paywalled.
But NewsCorp called it a wing propeller.
Who are the WSOs hired by? Sydney Airport or contractors?

Apparently "an airport security contactor ran into the wing propeller of a grounded plane".

Lucky it was just a "wing propeller"

Nige! Some debris needs removing from taxiway Alpha ...
 
Actually, it looks like they collided with some force - so a medical episode does seem plausible. If the tow was underway before the crash it does seem puzzling absent a medical episode - most likely a hypoglycaemic reaction? Hope the driver is OK.

I hope the driver wasn't Nigel, a long time friend and supporter of the Sydney Airport Message Board.

From last nights news:

Only one person (contractor) in vehicle and the aircraft was under tow.

The driver wasn't Tim or Nigel.
