[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 442674, member: 484"] rocket i rarely agree with you, but on this one, you are dead on. this is one of those accidents that would be God's grace to survive. if you did look at the photos well enough, you will have noticed that the drivers side of the package car was not only crushed into the driver, but to the left. that means that what little protection was there in front, got shoved to the side. the door frame was about all the protection he had. against a dump truck that was loaded, dont think he ever felt a thing. the whole cab on the passenger side is 2-4 inches, while the drivers side is not much more. he did not stand a chance with the three point hitch, which brings me to sober, while i agree with your crusade, i must disagree that this was a survivable accident for the ups man, strapped or not. God determined it was his time to go. i misunderstood the direction the dump truck was going. our driver had milliseconds to react, and no time for evasive action. as for the proper safe driving methods, there is not one that i can see he failed to follow. if you disagree, please pm me and correct me. and to think, he was looking forward to spending this christmas with his new grandchild.......... d [/QUOTE]
