HOUSTON — Moments after a big rig collided with an SUV heading south on the Southwest Freeway near Chimney Rock, a chilling reality began to emerge on the feeder road below.
“We just heard a voice and we came out and we saw that,” said Mary Azari. Azari works at a furniture store and ran outside along with other people to help.
The crash occurred on the West Park Drive off ramp just south of Chimney Rock. Investigators said the U.S. Postal Service truck collided with an SUV and wedged it against the wall. The collision sparked a fire that brought traffic through the area to a standstill.
But back down on the feeder road were those frantic efforts to save a man’s life.
The trucker, a contract driver, was taken to the hospital. There was no mail on the truck.

That’s not a contract driver. That’s a Postal driver. It was a Postal truck. Unless they are already putting contractors in our trucks. lol
