... little deeper into this accident. They may find out that the driver of the Mail truck was most of of his cellphone talking or texting while he was driving. At least that's what the Mail truck driver in my neighborhood does while driving from mail box to mail box. I've sat on my front porch and watched as he is delivering mail to each mail box! I've seen him almost run into the back of someone's car that's parked at the curb ... away from the curbside mailbox ... out of the way! It's no surprise to me that this accident happened... it was just a matter from time! The USPS service in this town definitely needs improvement!
