Crash with UPS truck closes Banfield road

Written on December 5, 2007 – 4:44 am | by admin |

A collision between a UPS delivery truck and a Volkswagen caused the closure of Banfield Road Tuesday afternoon.

Shortly after 4 p.m., police were called to the area about a mile off Peverly HIll Road, where the Volkswagen left the road and came to a stop nose-down in a ditch. The car’s air bags deployed and extensive front-end damage was visible as it was towed from the scene at close to 5 p.m..

Spider web cracks in the UPS truck windshield indicated the driver may have impacted the window, while the truck also showed signs of front-end and axle damage. An 18-wheeler tow truck was needed to haul it from the scene.

Officer Scott Pearl, who assisted at the crash site, said no one was injured.

About Dump Truck

A standard dump truck is a full truck chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame. The dump body is raised by a hydraulic ram mounted forward of the front bulkhead, between the truck cab (traction unit) and the dump body (semi-trailer). The tailgate can be configured to swing on hinges or it can be configured in the "High Lift Tailgate" format wherein pneumatic rams lift the gate open and up above the dump body.
