There it stuck with both passenger-side wheels dangling off the ground.

The driver was able to get out safely, Ismael said.

Canada Post confirmed that one of its employees was involved in the stuck truck mishap.

“As we’re in our busy time and are expecting a record-breaking holiday season, we have invested in our transportation and fleet which includes renting vehicles to help with delivery,” a spokeswoman said.

Ottawa police confirmed that they were called to the mall at 9:48 a.m. and filed a report on the collision.

No charges will be laid.
