I'll speculate:

this looks like textbook runway invasion where miscommunication leads to two different aircrafts being allowed on a runway at the same time.

Reminds me of LATAM 2213, which led to the very first Airbus 320 neo being written off [1].

Essentially, clearance to enter a runway has to be expressively given and confirmed in non-ubiquitous language ("Flight ABC requesting clearance to enter runway 01").

Yet LATAM incident shows how often emergency services are often unaccustomed to thorough communication (after all they do these procedures much more rarely)
