Michael Paluch had settled down for a quiet Wednesday morning of computer programming at his Miami Shores bayfront home when he heard a thud and a woman shriek.
He rushed outside to find his neighbors staring at an unbelievable sight: a partially submerged brown UPS truck in Biscayne Bay.
The baffling sight played this way, police said: The UPS driver was making deliveries east down 96th Street in Miami Shores around 9:30 a.m. in his highly recognizable truck, when it apparently clipped a tree near Northeast 12th Avenue, peeling the roof back like a tin can.
Out of control, the truck careened east and catapulted through pedestrian guard rails into the bay, coming to rest about 100 feet from shore after it continued to float away from land, said Miami Shores Police Chief Kevin Lystad.
