HUNTING VALLEY, Ohio

Truck accident: SOM Center Road

There were no serious injuries when a pest control company’s pickup truck struck a U.S. Postal Service mail delivery truck making its rounds on Route 91 south of Cedar Road just before noon on August 1.

The 2010 Grumman was parked at a mailbox, with the 2014 Nissan Frontier waiting behind it. But as the mail truck continued on and stopped at the mailbox on the other side of the driveway, the driver of the Aurora-based contractor, a 28-year-old Cleveland man, was unable to stop in time and crashed into the left rear quarter panel of the mail truck.

The mail truck sustained only minor damage, but the pest control truck was disabled by the front-end impact. The mail carrier, a Chesterland woman, was listed as a possible casualty in the accident report, although she declined medical transport.

Both trucks were towed from the scene of the accident and the pest controller was reported for failing to maintain the required safe distance. Both drivers were insured.
