The Boeing 727 (Northwest Fight 299 to Memphis) had just received takeoff clearance and was traveling at a speed of over 100 knots when the collision took place.

Suddenly both pilots found out they had taxied the wrong way, and contacted ground control. At the Oscar 4 intersection NW1482 turned right, but entered the active runway 03C instead of taxiway Xray.
