Seen this happen to a Warrior. Pilot (a student on their initial solo) took the plane off the runway while landing and smoked a runway edge light, then another as he brought it back onto the runway.

Definitely push bumper of a truck or poles around fuel tank.

Not a NTSB member but looks like it hit something

The wing hit something vertical with a good amount of force in two places. It is unlikely that it hit something like that square on so that it ended up with two similar dents that are both equally deep, it is also unlikely it hit some object, like a post, twice in a row. The dents are about the width of a truck or car, and there are some trucks (or tugs) with bumpers or brushguards that might create such damage. For those reasons I am going to guess that someone drove into it.

My guess is he ran into the back of a pickup truck that had the tailgate down. The spacing and narrow, vertical orientation of the impactors (I've been waiting years to use that word) suggest it. But it also looks like he was going pretty fast, so....??

Surely the rumor mill is already running there. I predict you'll hear pretty soon. Keep us updated.
