I have long time friend who's been at UPS for going on 20 years, we both still have our CDL A and we both drove for a living for a significant period of time, he did longer than I. Earlier with UPS, he drove doubles at night, but has been on days in the delivery vans for years now. I was doing a tree job with another friend at his place yesterday, later while we were talking, he told us about a delivery van that up ended, twisted in the air, and landed on the driver side of the van! It happened just down the road here at an intersection that was a downward slope, T intersection, the driver was recorded doing 39MPH at the time, he unexpectedly came upon some cars that stopped for a red light, reacted by veering left, ditch seems to have sucked in the van, and the back end came up and went over like described. 2 things are apparent, he's new, from the NYC area or so, does not know the roads here, and the management has these guys under a microscope, so he was probably trying to hustle every chance he could, he's lucky he had the seat belt on and that van type seat/chair did not come loose sending him out one of the open doors. No one else was hurt or affected. It was within the last week, I did not even hear about this, nor would I ever expect the longest type of van they have, which he was driving, could up end like this, much less a short one.
