The driver of the ground vehicle stated that as she was starting to speed up on the ramp, the airplane came into view. The driver attempted to stop but slid on the ice and came to rest under the airplane's right wing. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot stated there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
