Awful story, but hundreds of years of precedent are not going to be altered by another traffic fatality, sorry.

Does amazon own the truck? No
Does amazon employ the driver? No

You will find that when accidents involve amazon vehicles owned by amazon with amazon employees driving, they are indeed held accountable.
I would sure be upset if I mailed an overnight letter, the mail truck was in an accident, and I get sued for it.
