Runaway mail truck damages two properties

SANDY  Some Sandy residents were startled this afternoon when a mail truck crashed into their houses on Colima Drive.

A homeowner said the driver wasn’t behind the wheel when it happened.

When Robert Jenson got home from the barber, he said he saw police cars, fire engines and a mail truck in his driveway. He had no idea what had happened.

“My first thought was, ‘Why is the postal truck there in my driveway? They must be delivering some large thing that they need,’ but my wife came running out and told me what the whole deal was,’ Jenson said.

Jenson’s wife and grandchildren were home when they heard a loud crash, thinking something had fallen over in the garage.

It was actually a mail truck that rolled into the front of their house, knocking down bricks and damaging the garage door.
