FedEx Driver Crashes Into Pickup, Leaving 1 Dead in Lake Charles
At 5:00 pm on June 5, a tragic accident involving a FedEx truck and a pickup occurred on Highway 12 in Beauregard Parish. A 21-year-old operating a Fed Ex truck side swiped the Chevy Silverado when attempting to pass it illegally on the eastbound lane. While the FedEx worker and driver of the Chevy truck sustained minor injuries, the passenger riding along in the pickup died on the scene.
The occupants of the Chevy Silverado were reported to be wearing seat belts when the FedEx driver attempted the illegal pass that resulted in the loss of one of their lives. Unfortunately, no one, even those doing no wrong, is immune to the consequences of someone else’s mistake. All it took was the FedEx driver’s split-second, careless mistake to result in an irreversible tragedy that will inevitably negatively impact many lives.
