Narrative:

I fly a 1957 east model beech 18 on a scheduled feeder route from manhattan, ks, to kansas city, mo. One night after landing on runway 1L and being cleared to taxi to the ramp, I saw a car rapidly approaching from my left along an airport vehicle service road. The road crossed the taxiway I was on, and I determined that the car could not stop. I spun the airplane to the right hoping to avoid the car or hoping it would pass under the wing. Instead, the car came up under the airplane, struck the left main gear, and continued forward until the propeller cut through the inside of the car. The car was crushed and the driver went to the hospital for extensive cuts. I was fine, but both the airplane and car were severely damaged.
