UPS vs. Auto Fatality Accident -Vacaville, CA 12/9

[Ranger409]

Coming back from Oakland/SF Bay Area last night in company truck at 0300. Passed a wreck on I-80 at Leisure Town road turn-off in Vacaville, CHP and EMT units on scene.

Weather was raining off and on and roads were somewhat slick.

AM news radio said one four-wheel occupant was expired. The car looked like it was torn up pretty bad when I passed by the wreck, so that makes sense. I hope the UPS driver is doing OK.

I hope this wasn't the UPS drivers' fault. I didn't witness the accident myself but my take on it was probably four-wheeler mistake.

Remember, this could have happened to any of us, at any time.

Stay safe out there, drivers.
