I can see how a reporter might have been confused by this, as it is kind of an odd-looking truck.
Having driven a big truck for years this chaps my buttocks:
“a tractor-trailer-type vehicle collided with a parked New York State Department of Transportation vehicle on Interstate 86.”
Not until the 4th paragraph do they get to:
“He added the truck had a similar cab to a tractor trailer but was actually a box truck, and may have been a FedEx truck.”
Box trucks are much shorter, much lighter and do not require a CDL.
“Reporter” Tom Dinki needs to get out and get a clue.
With that said I’m glad no one was killed.
Property can be replaced, a life can’t.
IIRC I-86 is pretty rural. I don’t recall a lot of traffic on it but that was a few years ago.
This has been a busy day for you with the Stupid Accidents Reports.

I look up road construction articles on various interstates that are works in progress, and I do find these stupid work zone accident articles among them. I am so glad I took heed from you and Haiku Guy to just take it easy in those zones and do the speed limit. Some of these people are nuts.
