On September 19, 2008, at approximately 1945 eastern daylight time, a runway incursion occurred involving a Mesa Airlines CRJ-700, N506MJ, call sign ASH7138, and a Cessna R172K, N736GV, at the Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), Allentown, Pennsylvania. There were no injuries to the 4 crew and 56 passengers aboard the CRJ700. No information on the Cessna as of yet. The incident occurred during night visual meteorological conditions.
Cessna N736GV was on landing roll on runway 6 when the tower controller instructed ASH7138 to taxi into position and hold on the same runway. The controller instructed the Cessna pilot to exit the runway at taxiway A4 then cleared ASH7138 for takeoff. During their takeoff roll, the ASH7138 crew heard the Cessna pilot say that he'd missed the taxiway A4 turnoff and ask to exit at taxiway B. The ASH7138 crew saw the Cessna ahead, aborted the takeoff at about 120 knots, and swerved around the Cessna. The ASH7138 crew estimated they missed colliding with the Cessna by 10 feet.
