An insurance company has turned to the courts in its effort to recover money paid to repair damage caused by a postal worker who crashed into the East Longmeadow branch office of PeoplesBank last year.
Mail carrier Robert O’Sullivan had a cooler of vodka and mixers in his mail truck the morning of Aug. 26, 2025, when he struck several vehicles and a pedestrian at a Pride gas station before he fled down the road, police allege in court documents.
In the aftermath, the bank fixed the structural damage, replaced the masonry and brickwork, installed new signs and got a new office desk worth more than $2,000 to swap out for the one damaged in the crash. The costs totaled $43,750.
But, after the bank’s insurance company filed a claim with the U.S. Postal Service over the damage, the agency refused to pay.
