I saw the pictures of this accident 2-3 years ago. There were about 10 pictures of the truck from different angles/positions. If I remember correctly parking break wasn't used/ or disengaged and the vehicle rolled down an hill/incline. It was on a college campus I think and there were windows of the dorm or class room on that side of the building. I may have the link somewhere if I stumble across it it will post.

Yep they almost always nose in. I guess they dont learn. One nosed into a very tight pkg lot with 3 doctors offices a few years ago. Flew out after the stop and backed over a 60 ish lady. it was fatal. Express does a lot better job in their safe driving skills than ground IMO

No offense to Fredly, but I thought the same thing as Grunt. That is a staggering amount of accidents to have monthly.

Yea I was thinking that also. We put out almost 80 cars a day non peak and had about 10 this year.

MY GOD I would HATE to have to call something like that in!!!!!

ME..."insert lame story of what happened"

UPS..."insert many curse words and some sort of mumbling about "fired" in between said curse words....

I like how the driver is back there smiling and laughing with the cops. I dont get what the guy with the tux holding up a blender has to do with it?

BLACKBOX · 12-29-2007, 10:28 AM

Wow...Thats got to be a roll-away accident. No skid marks.....

Yeah, that guy with the blender, seems out of place in the picture.

moreluck · 12-29-2007, 10:34 AM

I didn't think it was a blender.....I thought it was a sewing machine.

Look closer, it's a sewing machine, that makes it even weirder to me.

Forced retirement,maybe?
I just hope he wasn't delivering the wedding cake.

The guy with the blender isn't in the original picture. Someone added him in later. Why, I do not know.

over9five · 12-29-2007, 03:19 PM

I believe that picture is a fake. I'd think you'd see tire tracks in the grass to the left of the sidewalk, and even across the sidewalk.

I disagree,
The angle of the shadow lines match.
That usually is the first clue to a altered photo, very hard to match perfectly.

In a roll away, there are no skid marks. The tire imprints on the left would be hard to detect, shadows,hard pack dirt and short grass. To the right, the tire imprints are hidden by the tall grass and the tux guy. Look at the angle of the front wheels and you can see why you can not see the crushed grass.

The wreck is real. The tux guy scares me so I say he's fake.
