SUPERMARKET giant Coles has launched a scathing attack on a union it likens to "vultures feeding'' on the misfortune of a delivery driver whose leg was amputated after a crash in Perth.
WorkSafe is making preliminary inquiries into the accident involving a 31-year-old Coles Online delivery driver at Nedlands last night.
His legs were crushed when a 51-year-old woman crashed into the delivery van as he was unloading groceries.
A Royal Perth Hospital spokesman said one of the man's legs had been amputated and it was unclear whether he would keep his other leg.
The Transport Workers Union (TWU) said the incident could have been avoided as not enough was being done to safeguard Coles Online drivers.
The union said Coles instructed its drivers to park on the road outside customers' homes and not in their driveway, and claimed there was inadequate lighting at the rear of the vans.
Coles reacted angrily.
"If media reports of TWU claims about this incident are accurate, the union leadership should be condemned as vultures feeding on any unfortunate incident to push their Safe Rates wages campaign,'' the company said in a statement.
"This is insulting and hurtful to our team member, his family and the other driver involved in the incident and it pre-empts the ongoing police investigation.
"Our priority is the wellbeing of our team member and his family and our thoughts are with them all.''
The 51-year-old driver was treated for shock.
