SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A U.S. Postal worker was struck and killed by a car Monday while standing outside his postal vehicle sorting mail in Santa Rosa, police said.
Emergency personnel were dispatched at 5:05 p.m. Monday to Northpoint Parkway and Corrigan Street in Southwest Santa Rosa for a collision involving a GMC Denali —a full-sized SUV —and a U.S. Postal Service vehicle.
The SUV was in the front yard of a home on Corrigan and the postal vehicle was in the middle of Northpoint.
Multiple people called 911 and told Santa Rosa Police Department dispatchers a man was lying in the roadway. Callers indicated he was a postal worker and said it appeared he was no longer alive.
As police officers and medical personnel arrived on scene, the victim was immediately pronounced dead by medical personnel.
