A United States Postal Service employee died Monday afternoon at the intersection of Valencia and 17th Streets.
Around 1:35 p.m. on Jan. 6, San Francisco police officers responded to a report that the driver of a USPS vehicle was hunched over the steering wheel. Attempts to administer CPR, an officer at the scene said, were unsuccessful. The mail carrier was pronounced dead at the scene.
As of 2:30 p.m., part of the intersection had been cordoned off as officers waited for the medical examiner to arrive. A white tent had been erected next to Harrington Galleries at the corner of Valencia and 17th Streets. Around the corner was another USPS employee with a satchel delivery cart, who declined to comment.
The medical examiner and USPS have yet to respond to requests for comment.
