Joseph Zupkofska was a forty five year old Coast Guard veteran, a newly-minted corrections officer and an avid triathlete. He and his wife Laurie were well-respected members of their Weymouth, Massachusetts community; they volunteered for the Meals on Wheels program, delivering meals to elderly shut-ins, and helping to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy every year.
Friends and coworkers were shocked and saddened when Zupkofska was killed in a pedestrian accident recently. He was jogging near his home one evening after work when a US Postal service truck came around a corner and struck him. He >>died from his injuries http://www.patriotledger.com/news/cops_and_courts/x1588519054/Postal-truck-kills-jogger-in-Weymouth<< sometime later at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth.
The driver of the postal truck has not been charged by police, but the accident is still under investigation. It is not clear if the limited visibility of the corner in the road was a significant factor in the accident.
