A Richmond postal carrier was critically injured last week when her United States Postal Service truck crashed on County Line Road.
According to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, the single-vehicle crash took place on the afternoon of Sept. 16 in Casco Township. It caused County Line Road between 28 Mile and 29 Mile roads to be closed for several hours.
Michigan State Police and Macomb County Sheriff’s deputies were on the scene, but St. Clair County took the lead on the case. At this time, it has not released any information regarding the cause of the crash but confirmed the female driver of the postal vehicle, Nichole Ballard, 37, of Memphis was transported to a local hospital where she is in critical condition.
Ballard has been a postal worker for seven years.
Ballard’s daughter, Ciara Miron, posted on social media Tuesday: “Mom, we are all praying for you. You’ve got this, you’re so strong, I love you. Thank you everybody.”
Miron has started a GoFundMe to help cover medical bills at gofund.me/ff86b144a.
