From Wikipedia
On 25 May 2000, Air Liberté Flight 8807, a passenger charter flight operated by a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (F‑GHED), collided with a Shorts 330‑200 freighter (G‑SSWN) operating as Streamline Aviation Flight 200 at Paris–Charles de Gaulle Airport during a runway incursion; the first officer of Flight 200 was killed and the captain was seriously injured, while on board Flight 8807 there were no injuries. The accident was blamed on the air traffic controller mistakenly thinking that Flight 200 was behind Flight 8807 when it was on the runway.
