An non-jury accident was reported to authorities in Montgomery County, Monday. Sheriff’s officials say Michael Allen Williams told them he was traveling west on 148th Street Monday in a 2002 Ford Ranger pickup, when he met an eastbound white Jeep Cherokee with a U-S Postal Service logo on it, that failed to yield half of the road. Williams said when he took evasive action, he ended-up driving into the north ditch. The right side of his pickup scraped the ditch embankment, causing an unknown dollar amount of damage.

Williams said the Jeep continued eastbound. Deputies in Montgomery County contacted officials with the Post Office, who looked into their records. The USPS said there were no mail carriers on that particular road, and had spoken to all their local carriers with vehicles close to that described by Williams.

The investigation into the alleged incident is complete, unless new information is uncovered.
