According to a news article posted on amny.com, a USPS worker was critically injured when a speeding car collided with the worker’s vehicle. The accident occurred at Avenue L and East 105th Street in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York. Several other people were also injured in the motor vehicle accident.

Law enforcement officers stated that a grey Mercedes Benz was allegedly speeding northbound on East 105th Street. The at-fault driver struck the USPS worker’s Subaru Forester as the USPS worker was heading east on Avenue L.
