Hope the driver is ok. Support the USPS, a vital resource for citizens.

Sleet hail, snow… the mail must go through (even concrete barriers).

Shit, I used to kayak under that bridge! Small world. There’s a college crew boathouse right there, which is where it looks like the camera was that took this footage

The posting stated that the driver was not injured. Time for him to buy a lottery ticket!

I’ll bet he was wearing his seat belt
and the lucky underwear.
Note that this was not a USPS truck. This was one of those long distance node transfer trucks that are all private contractors. You see them on the highways as bland white tractor trailers with “US Mail” scrawled on them in amateur-looking lettering. They aren’t allowed to use the USPS logos or anything. They are the gig workers of the postal system, basically.
