Four vehicles………thank you to all those involved, our car insurance companies thank you
Sarcasm alert .–> Butt butt butt the roads were icy .
The bad thing here is , even (if) the accident was not the UPS drivers fault it still is noted to his / her employment record .
The SUV has damage to both the front and back …. how did that happen?
I guess the strobe light on top of the school bus that are supposed to help “prevent” accidents didn’t prevent anything. Fancy that.
You people can’t drive – should make everyone in St Mary’s drive a bicycle
They’d wreck those as well
I vote for a pair of shoes?
Agreed! Shoe leather express will stop this!!
Um… was the Chevy Captiva even sold in the US? What in the world?
