> A Warren County man won a lawsuit for $10 million against the messenger company United Parcel Service on Wednesday after a two-and-a-half week trial.

> Philip Cote, Jr., who was 27 at the time of the 2005 accident, sued UPS after the collision forced doctors to amputate his dominant right arm.

> According to Cote’s attorney, Brian Breedlove, Cote was driving a 1994 Honda motorcycle when, Breedlove said, he was cut off by a UPS package truck making a left turn at the intersection of Larose St. and Sherman Ave. on July 7, 2005.

> But a witness told CBS 6 back in 2005 that Cote had been engaging in the risky motorcycle practice of “popping wheelies” before he hit the back of the truck.

> As a result of the impact, Breedlove said, doctors had to amputate Cote’s arm. They were unable to re-attach it.

> Cote was working as a manual laborer at Finch & Pruyn at the time of the accident, and was unable to resume his work at the company as a result of the accident.
