Incident Highlights Dangers of Battery-Powered Vehicles
Postal Service Investigating Cause of Fire
A United States Postal Service (USPS) mail truck caught fire in California on Tuesday, injuring a postal worker. The incident highlights the potential dangers of battery-powered vehicles, which are becoming increasingly common in the USPS fleet.
The fire occurred in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, east of Los Angeles. The postal worker was driving the truck when it suddenly caught fire. The worker was able to escape the vehicle before it was engulfed in flames.
Firefighters responded to the scene and quickly extinguished the blaze. However, the truck was destroyed. The postal worker was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The USPS is investigating the cause of the fire. The agency said that the truck was a battery-powered vehicle, which are being used by the USPS in an effort to reduce emissions. The USPS has not released any information about the specific make or model of the truck involved in the fire.
The incident is a reminder of the potential dangers of battery-powered vehicles. While these vehicles are more environmentally friendly than gasoline-powered vehicles, they also pose a unique set of risks.
