Sacramento, CA : One injured in crash that flips mail truck in Ukiah on Friday, September 8, 2017

A mail carrier escaped without injury Friday when his United States Postal Service truck was rear-ended at the busy intersection of South Orchard Avenue and East Gobbi Street, the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority reported.

Capt. Pete Bushby said the driver of the mail truck was turning right toward the Post Office at 671 S. Orchard Ave. around 6:45 p.m. Sept. 8 when his vehicle was rear-ended by an Infiniti sedan. The white mail truck then flipped over and landed on its side in the middle of the intersection.

Bushby said the man driving the truck declined medical care and said he was not injured.

According to the Ukiah Police Department, the 31-year-old female driver of the Infiniti was attempting to pass the mail truck as he was waiting to turn but ended up “clipping the back of the truck, causing it to spin and flip over.” The Infiniti then struck a third vehicle, an SUV. It is unknown if that driver was injured.

The driver of the Infiniti was arrested on suspicion of driving without a license and violating her probation. She was cited and released.

The intersection was closed for about half an hour while Ukiah Police officers inspected the scene and waited for two tow trucks to respond.
