I understand that a driver from SEA was involved in a accident this past week. I'm not sure of the exact location, whether it was Oregon or Washington, not even sure of the exact day.
The driver is okay, pretty badly shaken up. A flat bed truck was making a U-turn in the median, and stopped for oncoming traffic, his flat bed trailer was still sticking out in the lane that the O.D. truck was in. The O.D. driver swerved to avoid the trailer, but the back box caught the end and flipped it over, thus turning everything upside down, both trailers and the tractor.
The flat bed driver got a ticket, I would of done a lot more.
I've met and talked a couple of times with the O.D. driver, real nice guy, been with the company for quite a few years.
Please remember him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
I received this info from a driver and dispatch, if anyone knows anymore or needs to correct anything please let us know.
