[QUOTE="soberups, post: 495761, member: 14668"] We have had 3 head on collisions on my center in the last 8 years. In all 3 instances the other driver was at fault. In all 3 instances, both the UPS vehicle and the private vehicle were totalled. In once instance, the woman hit our P-700 head on at 55 MPH in an SUV. She died before the EMT's could cut her out. Our driver had a 3 point belt on [I]because the p-500 he normally drove was in the shop that day.[/I] He suffered only a fractured ankle and psychological trauma, and was able to return to work a few months later. In another instance, our driver in a P700 was hit head on at an angle just behind his driver side door by a pickup whose driver had fallen asleep. The pickup was destroyed. The P700 wound up in a ditch on its roof. Our driver, secured by his 3 point belt, suffered no injuries and returned to work the next day. The guy in the truck was in ICU for a week. In the 3rd instance, the speeds were lower and neither party suffered serious injury....again because our driver was in a P7 with a 3 point belt. In all 3 instances....a lap belt would have resulted in serious injury or death for our driver. [/QUOTE]
