I’ll bet that is not the first time someone has damaged their mailbox. Thats why it was built like that.
Don’t blame the mail box when you’re in a 25MPH zone and flip a vehicle..
Glad it was a mailbox and not a kid. Don’t know what happend in this accident, but I sure see many drivers who are distracted. And mainly distracted by their phones. People! Please put your phone down and pay attention to what you are doing.
No junk mail today, Yea!
That is one impressive mailbox! Is there even a dent in that thing?
Still have me thinking why mailboxes are allowed to be so well built on the roadway rightaway. All highway signs must be built to break away in an accident.
I’ve never seen a mailbox entombed in concrete like that.
Amazing to me how easy cars can flip. Hope they are okay and not injured. That mailbox is a Beast.
