My mother was a mail carrier for 24 years…3/4’s of that time in Century. Was always telling me about near misses. Couldn’t pay me enough to do that on a busy highway like that one.
I don’t know what exactly happened here, but I will say as a mail carrier, it’s really unsettling how many times I’ve nearly been rear ended. I have decals that say ‘FREQUENT STOPS’ and flashing strobe lights and people still ride my bumper and honk at me. Sorry for the inconvenience people, but I’m just trying to do my job!
I hope my mail lady is okay! Prayers for all involved.
