CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami) — A postal clerk headed to work was hit by an oncoming car on a Coral Gables street on Friday morning.
The 72-year old victim has just put in his notice to retire at the end of the year.
The man who has been with the U.S. Postal Service for 41 years was crossing Andalusia Avenue near Salzedo Street just after 8:00 a.m
Coral Gables Police said the driver stayed on the scene and is cooperating with authorities.
Crews airlifted the man, who suffered serious head trauma, to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. No word yet on his condition.
USPS officials said they are currently trying to contact his family.
oh the evil demonrats want to “go after your retirement so says the apwu postal record”……after 45 years you still drink the kool-aid-how sad you have not learned to think for yourself. let me tell you something my friend, had a great job at Pan American Airlines before democrat jimmy carter deregulated airline industry and hundreds of thousands of working class union people lost their job at Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, and pay cuts at the ones that did not go under. under W Bush as a clerk I got mega OT, a $400 and $600 rebate check, and filled my car up with gasoline that cost $1.89 a gallon. last six years under obama, pelosi, reid, feinstein, schumer and their ilk I get no raise for 3 years, 1% raise for 2, zero OT and gasoline at $3.89 a gallon. communism is a fairy tale for useful idiots.
Hope he has a complete recovery quickly!
Poor guy I hope he makes it. I’ve been out for 4 years under disability with a rebuilt shoulder and I keep asking the PO for some kind of a job. I’ll be retiring Jan 1 with 45 years, all together.
The republicians have already started looking into our retirement, according to the Postal Record. Hope we don’t get screwed too much, even management better get some K-Why too………………
