FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — An investigation is underway after a crash involving a United States Postal Service mail carrier.
It happened Tuesday afternoon in the area of Southwest 16th Street and Fourth Avenue in Fort Lauderdale’s Croissant Park neighborhood.
“It was no breaks or nothing, was just ‘kaboom,’” said resident Chris Gardella. “Because I was right here watching TV and, ‘kaboom.’ It’s enough to make me jump up and run out there.”
According to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, the accident was a two-vehicle crash involving a USPS vehicle and a Lexus sedan.
Authorities said a USPS employee was ejected from their vehicle and rushed to Broward Health Medical Center as a trauma alert.
“Hundreds of pieces of mail all over the street,” said Gardella. “It was crazy, because then he came flying right out the side window of the truck.”
The second vehicle’s driver was also taken to the hospital for treatment, with injuries considered non-life-threatening, officials said.
