[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 294989"] Unfortunately, this was not the first fatality in our district. A Mn UPSer was killed by a drunk driver several years ago in southern Mn. I participated in the district-wide safety conference call Friday morning. There are so many things going through my mind.... expect the unexpected; look left, right, left; get the big picture. What happened that those things were not going on leading up to the crash??? 2 years ago, a Liberty Mutual guy said at a PCM, something to the effect, "with all the crashes you guys (in the Mn district) are in, this district is overdue for a fatality." While we have made alot of progress in those 2 years (the Mn district went from one of the highest accident rates to one of the lowest), you can bet that we will be spending ALOT of time reviewing intersection safety. I am beyond words with grief for the family. I cannot imagine having to be one of the UPSers that had to notify them. I also cannot imagine how hard it would have been to be working in the Virginia center Thursday evening and going in on Friday morning. It is also horribly depressing t be on the safety committee, give a PCM concerning details about a fatal accident and have fellow drivers berate us for asking/pleading with them to work safe. I am getting pretty friend* sick of being on the safety committee. barnyard [/QUOTE]
