[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 73000, member: 1356"] What I see are a couple of low rez pics taken in the dark which do not allow real clear evidence of much. It does show what appears as damage on the very left hand rear corner of the car. That corresponds with the original story of the feeder changing from center to right lane, striking the rear of the car. It wouldn't take much of a nudge by a multi ton vehicle like one of our feeders hauling doubles to put an economy car out of control. Speculating on the spin physics of the contact is fairly useless as from where the damage is it really depends on how much forward motion compared to sideward motion was going on relative to the two vehicles at the time of contact. It could spin the small car around more into the feeder or just as easily have punched it in a direct diagonal away from feeder and off the road which is what appears most likely to have happened. I agree with danny that I can't see that happening to a concious driver without his knowing what had just occurred. Now, one nodding off I easily could. Regardless, a horrible incident for both parties involved and bad PR for UPS whatever the end results. [/QUOTE]
