There was a bad accident involving a FedEx Ground SLC to RNO triples team truck in Winnemucca on Friday 21st at about 6:45 in the morning, the truck was the only vehicle involved in the accident, the driver passed away at the scene and the co driver who was in the bunk at the time was sent to the hospital with critical injuries, reports state that the driver was merging into a bottle neck work zone then struck some construction barrels, a concrete divider and a forklift that was near the work zone, driver lost control of the truck sending it off the road with the cab of the truck separating from the chassis of the truck from the force of the impact, judging by some of the photos in the news reports it looks like the truck may have jack knifed when it went off the road way and the front trailer basically forced the cab off the chassis, my condolences go out to the families of both these men and I wish all of you here on BC safe days at work in the future so you can go home to your families.
