More now on the accident on Delancey Street this morning in which a sanitation truck badly damaged between six and eight parked cars.  We’re told authorities do not believe the driver was intoxicated. Instead, they say, it appears he fell asleep in the moments before ramming into the cars early this morning.  The driver stayed on the scene until police arrived. As you can see from these photos (sent in by TLD contributor Erin Egan Rodriguez) the truck’s right-rear tire was wrecked during the ordeal.  The parked cars, however, got the raw end of the deal.
