Piper Malibu Meridian —
Slid off the icey runway while landing back in January. Spun around 180 degrees and ended up with a wing still sticking out over the active. The pilot was not injured.
The runway was immediately closed; however, a short time later a Cessna pilot did not catch the NOTAM advising of the closure and also did not see the Piper. The Cessna landed on the runway and collided with the Piper's wing. The wing of the Cessna was substantially damaged. The second pilot was also uninjured.

I could not locate the Cessna, but since the collision occurred over 3 months ago it is possible the Cessna is being, or already has been, repaired.
Did this occur at KRNO Gary? I know that Stead is also not too far away. Regards! Chris
Paying attention to a NOTAM can be so important, very unfortunate for the Cessna pilot
