On 17 December 2014, the Daily Leak published an article claiming that a FedEx driver had committed suicide after crashing his truck and destroying hundreds of Christmas presents: While the Daily Leak bills itself as a satirical, parody website, and the article referenced above fits that description, a real-life incident (one in which the driver did not take his own life) was used as the basis for the parody. On 15 December 2014, a FedEx truck flipped on Interstate 287 in New Jersey. The driver, who was reportedly trying to dodge a tire on the road, suffered minor injuries in the crash. FedEx also said the company was able to salvage some of the packages and delivered them in time for Christmas: While it is true that a FedEx truck was involved in an accident on one of the company's busiest delivery days, it is not true the accident drove a delivery driver to suicide.
