UPS pays their drivers so well, so when you wreck and get sued....

BRECKNOCK TWP., Pa. - Police are trying to sort out the events leading up to a fatal crash that closed the westbound Pennsylvania Turnpike between the Morgantown and Reading interchanges for more than seven hours Thursday morning.

It all began around 2:20 a.m., when a Hyundai Sonata lost control and flipped over in the turnpike's westbound lanes in Brecknock Township, Lancaster County, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Three people were able to get out of the overturned car, and the drivers of a commercial vehicle and a Ford Mustang stopped to help, police said. That's when a UPS tractor-trailer slammed into the Sonata and the Mustang.

A 25-year-old Brooklyn man, who had gotten out of the overturned car, was killed; the Sonata's other two occupants fled the scene, police said.

Three other people suffered minor injuries.

The extensive cleanup and on-scene investigation by state police kept the westbound turnpike closed until about 9:30 a.m.

The seven-hour closure between the Morgantown and Reading interchanges created a backlog of traffic along the detour route, which included Routes 10, 322 and 222.
