Sometimes Security Cameras catch a gem!

[pickup]

I prefer not to telegraph what happened here so that the video can tell the story by itself. But it does involve a delivery mishap by a fed ex driver. One can argue it should be in another forum.. whatever!

I used the title from the video, but I don't consider it a "gem". I am just glad it didn't go as badly for the driver as it could have.


If the video has been posted already, then I apologize.

It already is in another forum.

To be fair, that driver had probably already worked 70 hours that week.

It's a joke. Yea there's been more than can be counted. I've had dreams mine has run away. It scares me very much.

And with an automatic also. Was going to give him his job back at panel, but he still denied it was his fault.

This driver was incredibly lucky that it didn't hit anything important or hurt someone.

He was very lucky, someone in the comments on youtube pointed out that the open door hitting the tree , in conjunction with the bounce from the curb, changed the path of the van so that it missed the house.
