Overview
- Police say a red pickup rear-ended a USPS truck on Main Street near Coffee Street in Medway, flipping the mail vehicle onto its side.
- The carrier was pinned with part of her body under the truck, and firefighters used lifting airbags to free her in a difficult rescue.
- A medical helicopter flew her to UMass Memorial in Worcester, and USPS collected the mail for delivery while declining to share her medical details.
- Neighbors, including a nurse, reached the scene first and kept the carrier awake and calm until first responders arrived.
- Route 109 closed for hours between Oakland and Holliston streets as police opened an investigation, reported no charges, and said speed did not appear to be a factor.
