Deputies save driver from burning mail truck in Tacoma, Washington

The Pierce County Sheriff's Office recently shared new body camera footage of deputies responding to a mail truck that caught fire following a collision earlier this month. On Jan. 10, deputies arrived at the site of the incident where a mail truck had collided with a sedan near Park Avenue South and 106th Street South in Tacoma. The arriving deputy observed the mail truck driver injured as flames surrounded him; the deputy promptly moved him away from the burning vehicle and, with the help of a female bystander, attempted to put out the fire. The driver of the mail truck and the back-seat passenger of the sedan sustained injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals in severe condition. The PCSO expressed gratitude to Central Pierce Fire and the female bystander for their aid. Details regarding the cause of the crash are currently sparse.
