Around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 6, deputies with the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle crash on Oneida Road in Cashton, just outside the Town of Clinton.
Deputies say a pickup truck was driving north when he reportedly looked out his passenger window to wave at a “farmer in the Amish community.” At the same time, a postal worker was pulling away from a mailbox after making a delivery.
The pickup truck reportedly braked and steered left while the postal worker accelerated and turned right. However, the truck crashed into the left rear of the postal worker.
I know it is a thing of respect, but I think mail carriers should be told not to waive at each other while driving. Why play the odds.
