Deputy strikes UPS truck - The Hawkeye

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.

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.

This guy needs to get his eyes checked right after he gets fired. Come on "did see a UPS truck" How can you miss the big brown truck?

I would say the police officer may have received a warning notice at most not the termination that a UPS driver would receive if the situation were reversed. We had a driver charged with an avoidable when he was stopped at a light and hit by fleeing car of a police chase.
