Mail Truck Crash Kills Sacramento Man
I’m Ed Smith, a Sacramento truck accident attorney. A motorist was traveling in a box truck along Interstate six hundred eighty in Danville during the early morning hours of Monday, December Nineteen, 2016. The driver crashed into an abandoned vehicle on the right shoulder of the freeway and was transported to the hospital where he later unluckily passed away.
A two-axle box truck was being driven by a 26-year-old man from Sacramento to supply packages from FedEx to the United States Postal Service (USPS). The driver of the box truck crashed into an abandoned Ford minivan that was left on the right shoulder of the freeway in the neighborhood of El Pintado Road. The influence of the collision caused the truck to overturn and crash into a large metal pole. This also caused the truck to spill the hundreds of packages for USPSВ along the freeway.
Emergency Crews Assist Injured Driver
Emergency crews arrived at the scene of the accident to assist the injured man in the box truck. Crews were able to extricate the man from the wrecked truck and transport him to the hospital. Unluckily, the man later passed away at the hospital due to the fatal extent of his injuries.
