Postal Worker On Leave After Fatal Accident
Posted on Dec 30, 2009
Henrico County police are investigating a wreck in which a Glen Allen woman was killed after her car was struck by a U.S. Postal Service delivery truck on Christmas Eve.
The victim, Gurjit Rathore, 33, of the 4500 block of Moraticco Court, was pronounced dead at Henrico Doctors' Hospital after the 1:56 p.m. crash at Farmington Drive and Condover Road. She suffered neck and chest injuries, police said.
Police are investigating whether the postal service truck, driven by an on-duty worker, ran a stop sign before colliding with Rathore's 2001 Honda Accord. Rathore's three children were inside the family's car but apparently weren't injured.
The postal worker, who wasn't identified, has taken a personal leave from work, said Cathy Boule, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service in Richmond. Postal authorities will determine whether he will resume his mail route pending an internal investigation, she said.
"He was making deliveries at the time" of the crash, Boule said.
Henrico police Lt. Dirk Engels said the postal truck was traveling south on Condover Road and attempted to cross Farmington Drive from a stop sign when he struck Rathore's vehicle, which was heading west on Farmington.
The intersection "is controlled by a stop sign but that part of it is still under investigation," Engels said.
Engels said neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the crash. The state Medical Examiner's Office said Rathore died from a lacerated wound to her left lower neck.
