MOAB, Utah (AP) -- The collision of a mail truck and a cow resulted in the destruction of about six-thousand letters and packages, and the driver was seriously injured.
A postal spokesman says the truck was headed north from Durango to Grand Junction on U-S 191 near Moab, Utah, when it collided with a cow Thursday night. The crash set the truck on fire and killed the cow.
The driver, whose name was not released, suffered leg and chest injuries but was expected to recover.
About four-thousand pieces of mail also survived, though some were damaged. They will be delivered with notes attached explaining their condition.
