DCD Truck Accident In Plattsburgh

The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com notes a truck accident near Diamond Comic Distributor's Plattsburgh, New York warehouse involved injuries to at least someone involved, and, much less importantly, damaged some of the comics being hauled. Given the difficulty of delivering comics to an East Coast blanketed in record-setting snow and the closure of the Timonium, Maryland headquarters during the bulk of this period, the loss of several comics and further delays in getting them to stores obviously puts more stress on a system already under strain, should lead to some interest in the financial hit this could mean to a company that fired a round of employees only a year ago, and might throw a spotlight a bit further down the road on the tension in a system operating under taut, little-margin-for-error, conditions. For now, let's hope no one's injuries were so serious that recovery is in doubt.
