NORWELL, MASS. (WHDH) - An SUV slammed through the front door of a post office in Norwell Friday afternoon.
Police arrived on scene at Dover Street to find the driver of the vehicle was OK after freeing herself from the wreckage. No customers or employees were harmed, either.
The post office ended up having to close for the rest of the day, as structural engineers assessed the soundness of the building and the damage left by the crash.
“Sad to see it,” customer Andrew Marrese said. “I wish they had left the side door open so I could get my mail.”
Police are still investigating the incident but said that it appeared to be an accident.
“Nothing suspicious in nature or anything like that,” said Norwell Police Chief Edward Lee, who noted the path the car took was directly lined up with a parking space preceding the front door. “It appears to be a mishap, maybe hitting the gas instead of the brake-type situation.”
