“The Dodge pickup truck was traveling southbound on Antoine Drive,” he said. “The male had just fled from a minor accident up the road at Veterans Memorial and Antoine Drive. As he was fleeing, he was going at a high rate of speed. He lost control and he struck the rear of the postal truck, who was delivering mail in the residences here on the southbound side of Antoine Drive.”
