[QUOTE="upserr1, post: 835346, member: 21330"] This is an old article but I would guess it would be the drivers fault according to UPS. At our center I'm sure the center manager would have made some comment about what he or she could have done to prevent this from happening. [B]published online: 1/19/2010[/B] [B]Deputy strikes UPS truck [/B] By JOHN MANGALONZO An unmarked Des Moines County Sheriff's Office vehicle sustained thousands of dollars in damages after it struck a parked United Parcel Service delivery truck, Burlington Police officials said. According to an accident report, the incident happened Jan. 5 at approximately 3 p.m. The deputy, identified as Matthew Breckon, was not injured, the report stated. Authorities said Breckon told officers he was driving an unmarked 2007 Ford Explorer XLT north on Vogt Street when the accident occurred. Breckon, a report indicated, told police he was using his in-car computer and did not noticed the UPS truck parked alongside the street until the last second. The deputy swerved in an attempt to miss the delivery truck, but a panel of the Explorer still struck the left rear bumper of the UPS truck. Police estimate the damage to the sheriff's office vehicle at $4,000 and listed $500 damage to the delivery truck. No citations were issued. [/QUOTE]
