HOUSTON –A postal worker fell to his death on Beltway 8 near the North Freeway.
Houston police got the call just before 10am Friday.
Postal inspectors are investigating what caused a worker to fall to his death from the Beltway 8-North ramp at the North Freeway.
Police said the man was in the process of delivering mail, and rescue crews found mail inside his SUV.
No one else was injured.
Witnesses say they saw something fall from the beltway and bounce off the ground. When they stopped, they saw that it was a person.
Police have not released his identity. He was off duty when he jumped or fell.
Looks like it’s time to investigate the postmaster but he will more likely end up getting promotion. Kill more and get more awards. Hehe. Sorry. Can’t even laugh on this tragedy.
How can you deliver mail on an overpass ramp? And what about the police comment that he was off duty? That makes no sense. Was he stealing mail and taking it somewhere to dump? This is piss poor journalism reporting right here.
But let’s not get hasty and imply the management was involved. I don’t think they’ve stooped to the level of whacking employees. Most of them wouldn’t be smart enough to pull it off. They’d probably shoot the victim and then enter the whack on their scanner. Can’t do anything without a barcode these days.
Delivering mail and off duty was management coercing in some way that he deliver without being on the clock, anybody say wage theft, or was it the tried and true safety of the USPS. Which of course is clock him out and then see if he needs help.
Either way WTH?
He was “delivering mail” AND “off duty when he jumped or fell”? Geez… I am left wondering. But, perhaps, I may already be know. Either way, I am praying for his poor soul and his family’s search for strength. Cannot wait for official USPS explanation.
Off duty? Delivering mail? Rural carrier SUV? Swan dive? RIP young man and God bless.
