Postal Carrier Airlifted After Pickup Rear-Ends USPS Truck on Medway’s Route 109

Police say speed does not appear to be a factor.

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.
