Man killed / hit by UPS truck 12/16

[chev]

It's hard to find a lot of info on this accident, but here is what I found.
A car broke down on the Girard Point Bridge sometime after midnight on the 16th. He was struck from behind by a UPS feeder from NY. I don't know driver details and I don't think it would be appropriate to post that info anyway even if I did have it.
I was told by a feeder sup that the car had no lights on and I know for a fact that the bridge is very dark. It was also raining.

Very tragic for all who are involved. I feel really bad for the guy that was killed. As well as the driver of the UPS vehicle. I know this would eat me up inside.

This is one of the only news stories I could find and it is very brief.
Stories like this really hurt me to my soul. He was so young and, by reading his MySpace, I gather he was well loved and will be terribly missed.

You know how hard it is to get info out of a sup sometimes. It's like pulling teeth. I'm sure UPS is keeping this hush hush as much as possible, but I will keep pestering till I find the results of the "investigation"/railroading.

andything said could be used in a lawsuit against the company....so i can understand the hush hush.

terrible tragedy. I wish his family the best in the hard time. RIP.
