Amazon Driver Backs On To Burke Gilman Trail

PD LFP

Chief Zanella reports that on Friday at approx. 2:00 p.m., an Amazon delivery driver rolled backward down the Burke Gilman Trail (on Beach Dr NE and 38th PL NE), landing dangerously on the embankment with the driver stuck inside. 

LFPPD Officer Coleman immediately placed his vehicle behind the delivery van so it would not roll down any further. Other officers and Cmdr. Adams blocked a portion of the Burke Gilman trail until a tow truck was able to secure the delivery van and bring it back to a safe position. 

The driver was not injured and the officers received lots of compliments by several community members for their quick response.
