BAILEY, Colo. — The post office in a small Colorado mountain town temporarily suspended its retail services after a vehicle crashed into the building Friday evening, according to a release from the United States Postal Service (USPS).
A spokesperson for USPS said a customer was driving to the post office in Bailey to check their mail when the brakes malfunctioned and they crashed into the front of the building at 24 River Drive. The post office was closed at the time of the crash, the spokesperson said, and no one was injured.
According to the release, customers will still be able to pick up P.O. Box mail and packages at the rear entrance of the Bailey post office building during normal business hours, which are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday.
