Narrative:
Landing at broadhead airport on runway 27, collided with truck. No damage to aircraft or any persons. Dent to roof of truck and cracked windshield. Rusty old truck, maximum estimated damage $2000. Truck northbound on road that is immediately next to touchdown zone. Road marked both directions with 'caution, low flying aircraft.' also, we had a flag man (orange vest and paddles) stopping cars when plane lands. Driver ignored both signs and flagman and drove directly into me as I landed. My right main tire hit roof of truck. Cops said driver should have been more careful and FSDO called it an 'occurrence.'
