Mail truck catches fire after wreck Comment By Grants Pass Daily Courier MailTribune.com By Grants Pass Daily Courier Posted Aug. 29, 2016 at 4:29 PM By Grants Pass Daily Courier Posted Aug. 29, 2016 at 4:29 PM » Social News JEROME PRAIRIE — A pickup truck being driven aggressively collided Saturday with a United States Postal Service truck, causing the mail truck to catch on fire and sending one person to the hospital. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. in the 4500 block of Jerome Prairie Road. Matthew Thomas Hanson, 22, was driving aggressively and tried to pass the mail truck just as it began a left turn, according to Oregon State Police. The pickup struck the front left corner of the mail truck, then rolled after hitting a ditch. A 20-year-old male in the bed of the pickup was ejected, and he was taken to Asante Three Rivers Medical Center complaining of knee pain. The mail truck steered into a dirt driveway and caught on fire, but the driver escaped injury. Rural/Metro Fire Department doused the flames. Hanson was cited for operating outside his permit restrictions, and for careless driving.
