Postal worker struck, pinned between vehicles in National City

Good Samaritans helped free the seriously injured USPS mail carrier after he was pinned, and a police sergeant said a tourniquet "probably" saved the postal worker's life

Windindaface et al -- "Postal worker struck, pinned between vehicles in National City ( CA )"

-- City carriers mandated to work from the back of the LLV.

-- Every year one or more get seriously injured -- or worse.

-- Things should improve whenever the NGDV arrives with access via the side door.

-- The Ford model of the LLV ( FSS or FFS ) is just about impossible to get to the cargo area from the cab.

-- The USPS's "safety of our workers is a top priority." ( etc ) rings kind of hallow when these accidents happen )

That sucks. I see the wheels aren't curbed, door open when not in sight. Poor carrier is probably on EP right now.

And are we sure it was seizures? "The driver was shaking with his foot on the gas"...could just be another pissed off person who ordered on Amzn Saturday night and didn't get his package till Tuesday. Could of been like the guy in Minnesota that used his truck to ram and try to kill a carrier?
