That must have been a hell of an impact.

Ejected from the vehicle. Wearing a seatbelt???

Condolences to the driver's family.

God bless the FedEx driver and his family. My prayers go out for our ups brother as well. This has to be very very hard on him.

From the pictures in the second article, it looks like the Fedex truck is damaged and the front of the UPS one isn't.

Don't care if you weigh 400 lbs. In this day in age, if you are ejected from the vehicle, you aren't wearing your seatbelt. Sure it sucks. But apparently someone was throwing caution to the wind for minimal comfort. Proceed to put that into your proverbial pipe and toke real hard. Kind of like Dale Earnhardt and his improperly installed belts. How is that comfort issue feeling now dead guy?
