“ALERT: Amazon delivery driver dies after she complained that the “van is giving off a bad smell in the air that’s making me dizzy.”
Patrick Miranda called the Lake County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line after the van sat at the end of his driveway for hours.
“I see the phone is still plugged in. The backpack is there, and again the car is running, but there is no one… It seemed kind of strange.”
A deputy arrived and opened the door, immediately reacting to the fumes, and found 31-year-old Jaylene Vargas-Gonzalez unconscious.
Deputies became nauseous from approaching the van, so firefighters in gas masks approached the van and hosed off Gonzalez before beginning life-saving measures.
Gonzalez was taken to a hospital but ultimately died from carbon monoxide poisoning, according to the medical examiner.
Gonzalez sent out a text earlier that said, “This van is giving off a bad smell in the air that’s making me dizzy.”
Recordings from inside the van show Gonzalez moving packages around in the back before collapsing onto the floor.
Authorities say a crack in the exhaust was leaking into the van and caused carbon monoxide levels to drastically rise.”
Well, her family should sue Bozos for 100 billion dollars. It's inevitable that those idiotic vans with 6 inches of clearance would sustain damage underneath.
