The pilot said he was taxiing for takeoff when his attention was diverted. He did not say how or why his attention got diverted. The left wing of his airplane struck a parked Cessna 172N, causing his airplane to swerve left. His propeller then sliced through the parked Cessna. In his accident report however, the pilot said he was taxiing to the gas pump when his wing 'bumped' the Cessna.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain an adequate visual lookout. A factor was the pilot's attention being diverted.
