USPS: Thousands of papers spilled across H-1 Freeway were ’junk mail’

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – If you were driving on the H-1 Freeway on Saturday, you may have seen thousands of letters and mail strewn across the roadway.

But not to worry, none of it was actually real mail.

The U.S. Postal Service told Hawaii News Now that it was “junk mail” that was on its way to be recycled.

The vehicle that spilled it was a recycling contractor truck.

All that mail snarled traffic throughout the day Saturday as crews attempted to clean up the mess.
