Car crashes into Talent post office By Nick Morgan Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Nick Morgan Mail Tribune Posted Oct. 28, 2015 @ 5:21 pm Updated at 6:50 AM By Nick Morgan Mail Tribune Posted Oct. 28, 2015 @ 5:21 pm Updated at 6:50 AM » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> Talent post-office box holders should expect delays after an elderly man mistook his accelerator for the brake in the parking lot. At 2:16 p.m. Wednesday, Kenneth Perry Condit, 80, of the 4600 block of South Pacific Highway, Phoenix, drove his late-model Toyota Camry sedan through multiple walls at the Talent post office before stopping in a back room used by postal employees. Condit's wife was in the vehicle with him during the crash. Talent police Chief Mike Moran said that when he arrived on the scene, he thought the car had been moved. "It turns out it was inside," Moran said. Condit's car traveled over a parking barrier near the east side of the post office building. From there the car jumped over a sidewalk, then through an exterior wall. “He then took out an entire wall of post-office boxes," Moran said until stopping "several feet" inside the back room. "It went almost all the way through the building," said Jackson County Fire District 5 Chief Darin Welburn. At least two employees were working in the building at the time, according to Welburn. "The car was approximately 20 feet into the building," Welburn said. "Luckily there was no one in the area at the time or we could've had critical injuries." According to Moran, Condit showed no signs of intoxication or medical emergency. "He apparently mistook his gas pedal for the brake," Moran said. No citations were issued in the incident. “We felt that a citation was not appropriate, but we will submit that the driver be retested by the Department of Motor Vehicles,” Moran said.
