Summary:

The towbar used to connect the aircraft to the pushback tug remained in the aircraft’s path after the pushback ground crew had signalled to the flight crew that their taxi route was clear. The aircraft subsequently taxied forward and struck the towbar, which became lodged against the aircraft’s left main landing gear.
