Looks like a UPS Freight rig.

This is so sad. I ride and hate seeing reports like this. My condolences to the family.
Left, are you in AZ? This will be in our PCM on monday.
Yes, I moved over here on retirement a year ago. All my working years were in Calif., but my kids are here soooo, here we are. Love it.
Not good!!! Not good!!! This is sickening. Did you read the article and look at the pictures? The phony baloney above the law UPS strikes again. Two families will never be the same and UPS can just keep rolling along in the name of profit and greed. This is not the drivers fault, UPS expects drivers to park any where they can. Last summer I saw a UPS driver pull up on a sidewalk and park right on the sidewalk on a busy residential street. I went to work when I got off of vacation and I asked our Safety Committee if it acceptable for UPS drivers to park on sidewalks. The safety guy reported back to me that the DM said this was expected of them. I asked the safety guy to please verify that if a kid riding his bike on this sidewalk runs into the back of a parked UPS truck and falls into the street and gets run over and killed that the accident will be considered unavoidable since UPS encourages and expects illegal parking. Never heard anymore about this. This driver will probably be thrown to the wolves, by the wolves.Looks like a UPS Freight rig.

Our feeder has no business being on the sidewalk.
So much anger so little life time to enjoy it with.
I can not pretrip your belts from my couch and you can not investigate this accident from yours.
condolences to the familys on this unfortunate incident.
It looks like it was a UPSF truck, trailer has a liftgate, (I've haven't seen a feeder trailer with a liftgate) and also has the diamond shaped brackets for the hazmat placards. Still not a good thing.
I don't really know how "controlling the space in front of you" can keep someone from rearending you. (Unless your referring to the scooter operatoThe r.)
If that is the pic of an accident I heard about, this is tastless on your part to post it. Please remove it. No one needs to see it. Disrespectful to say the least.
