Union truck slips, tips behind Flint
By JIM BOLE Staff Reporter
A Kansas Union delivery truck slid off a snow-covered service road and tipped over on its side about 4 p.m. yesterday, causing about $6,000 damage, said Forrest Jolly, Kansas Union vending manager.
JIM MENEMIALL, the driver of the two-tom truck, said he was driving down the service road west of the facilities operations building below Flint Hall at three mph when the truck slid off the three-foot embankment on the left side of the road.

He said he climbed out of the passenger door after the truck tipped over.
Capt. Larry Woydziak of the LawrenceFire Department completed efforts yesterday to raise a Kansas Union truck that tipped on its side near Flint Hall.
Mendenhall said he had been driving to the carpentry shop at the bottom of the service road. The road is one of the most hazardous on the route, and usually when there is snow, Mendenhall said
JOLLY SAID about $2,000 worth of soda cans and $4,000 damage to the truck occurred when a customer tried to throw a bottle into the mix.
As a precautionary measure, Lawrence firefighters sprayed the truck with foam to prevent gas vapors from igniting, said Capt Larry Woydzik of the Lawrence Fire Dept.
Alan Sket, wrecker operator at Hillcrest Wrecker and Garage Inc., 1120 328 St, first had to drag the truck away from the door before he was able to pull it upright.
AFTER THE truck was back on its wheels, vending operations employees picked up the soda cans that had spilled from the truck and
put them on other vehicles
Jolly said sold operations had only one other larger truck, besides the damaged truck.
But he said service to vending machines would not be disrupted, because they would use vans and other vehicles to make deliveries.
