Fire Destroys UPS Truck And The Packages Inside

November 29, 2020

Fire destroyed a UPS delivery truck, and the packages inside, Saturday morning on the I-10 bridge over Escambia Bay.

Anyone that may have a package on the truck can expect to be contacted by UPS or the shipper.

The fire reportedly started in the engine compartment of the delivery truck and spread. The driver escaped without injury.

The fire closed two eastbound lanes.

    UPS trucks used to be immaculate. My dad always talked about the fleet and the details of how UPS kept their trucks, etc. It’s disappointing to see the condition some of them are in now. So thankful the driver made it out ok.

    Oh wow. Sure glad the driver was able to get out. I can’t imagine what the driver was going through when this started happening.

    Yikes, not much left of the truck. Thankful the driver is okay and nobody else was injured.
    At least UPS has a total inventory of packages and contacts for those who lost items.
    Just one of those things we never imagine will happen.
