I really hate to see any truck crashes involving UPS Freight my former employer.
I am very happy to learn that this driver was not injured very bad.

Knowing ups they probably already put this driver on leave until their investigation is complete.

A thurow pre trip also will help the trailers to stay upright, Check for broken springs and check that the pintle hook air assisted plunger is working to keep the dolly tight. I have found many older trailers with these problems.
