This past Saturday, a UPS delivery truck veered off an embankment and slammed into a tree on the side of a road in Federal Way, Washington. According to police, a UPS worker who was riding in the truck was ejected when the vehicle flew off the road. He was pinned between the tree and the truck for over half an hour before he was finally rescued.
The UPS truck’s driver was able to escape the wreck with minor injuries, but he was taken to a local hospital as a precaution. The passenger was transported to the same hospital, but with life-threatening injuries from the truck accident.
According to a witness, the driver seemed disoriented and was concerned about the truck’s cargo, seemingly unaware that his co-worker had been thrown from the truck. At the moment, the cause of the accident is still being investigated, but Federal Way authorities do not believe that the driver was impaired.
