A Boeing 787 plane collided with an aircraft tug after the towbar snapped during towing at an airport in Colombia on Thursday.

CCTV footage shows the Latam Airlines jet being pulled across the runway of the El Dorado International Airport on May 4.

As the tug was making a turn however, the towbar broke, causing the vehicle to go under the plane. The driver was unhurt as he was seen jumping off the tug and running to safety.

Another clip shows the plane's fuselage marred with scrapes and rips after the collision.

Latam Airlines Flight LA581 was cancelled due to the accident, but other airport operations proceeded normally.

In March, a security officer and an alleged robber were killed during a failed heist of $32M when a Latam Airlines plane was arriving at an airport in Chile.

Footage showed gunfire ringing out amid an intense shoot-out near the Boeing 787 plane carrying the cash at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago city on March 8.
