The Aurora truck was operating in autonomy at the time. The vehicle operators stopped at a safe location to inspect the vehicle, but initially found no damage. During a subsequent fuel stop a few hours later, they noticed minor damage to the right fairing of the truck which wasn't previously visible. The vehicle operators reported the damage and continued the mission in manual.
