DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Pieces of mail was scattered and spotted near an intersection in Dayton.
Montgomery County Regional Dispatch confirmed to 2 NEWS officers were called around 10 a.m. to the area of S. Edwin C Moses and Wisconsin boulevards for a report of debris in the roadway.
When our 2 NEWS crew arrived at the scene, they saw what appeared to be mail along the roadway.
A spokesperson for USPS told 2 NEWS that one of its contractors didn’t secure the contents before leaving the facility, which resulted in the contents reportedly coming out of the vehicle.
A contractor hauling undeliverable bulk business mail to a recycling center for the Postal Service did not properly secure their truck load after leaving a postal facility. As a result, the truck’s contents came loose along the road today. The items on the truck were not live mail. USPS employees assisted the contractor at the scene and cleared the area.”
