Wilkes-Barre, PA to clear snow from the sidewalks, was operating a large, white, late model ,heavy duty, pick-up truck in a reckless, careless and negligent manner. The careless driver with VERY little regard for public safety, was driving in reverse, at a high rate of speed in the middle of the sidewalk w/ a heavy duty plow attachment on the front of his <br />vehicle. He did not sound his horn and had on no blinking, hazard lights.<br /><br />I was exiting a store and missed getting hit by the truck or its BIG mirror by a second or two which could have well resulted in serious injury of even <br />death. Now, why would a BIG pickup truck be on a sidewalk driving in reverse in at a high rate of speed in the middle of the afternoon of a weekday on a <br />high traffic pedestrian area I would like to know???<br /><br />I found out through investigation, Humford Realty owns the bldg. and hired the RECKLESS contractor. I was able to call the president , MR. Finlay of <br />Humford and tell him my complaint. He didn't seem too concerned and coldly responded " What do you want me to do about it?" I told him this smacks of a <br />future potential lawsuit as it is not so much a potential accident but a case of his contractor operating in a careless, negligent manner! <br />His arrogant, cavalier attitude was not appreciated. The general public needs to be warned what kind of reckless people are hired through Humford Realty!!!! <br /><br />Driver of vehicle needs to be REPRIMANDED and possibly replaced for one who can work in a SAFE manner. The President of this Co. needs to be reminded that he very well is held accountable through ALL his employees and contractors, especially those who act in a careless, negligent manner. <br /><br />Mr. Finlay can't 'pass the buck' on this one! I would like my complaint to be made PUBLIC but keep my identity anonymous to avoid reprisal ,so the <br />general public can find out the careless manner in which Humford Realty acts in regard to hiring contractors. <br /><br />PS. Humford Realty needs to be told that TRUCKS DO NOT belong on sidewalks in the middle of the afternoon PERIOD. STOP this dangerous practice before someone gets killed or maimed!!! Now what if this happened to YOU or a LOVED ONE??? How about a child????
