Truck slams through side of Vanderbilt Post Office during police chase

A truck slammed through the side of the Post Office branch located in Vanderbilt Borough, Fayette County during a police chase early Tuesday morning.

Fayette County dispatchers say the crash happened just before 1:45 a.m. at the Post Office location along Liberty Street.

State police say this all started with a traffic violation. They had tried to pull the driver over. Fire crews said the driver barreled down Walnut Street, hitting a sign and a mailbox before slamming into the post office. The driver left behind a trail of damaged cars and broken taillights.

The building was heavily damaged with a large hole left in the corner. A large crack along the side of the front of the building was growing in size early Tuesday morning.
