At 3:05 pm Monday, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District and CHP responded to a report of a vehicle stuck in a ditch with a victim trapped in the 5600 block of Chadbourne Road in the City of Brentwood.

While responding, it was reported that the vehicle was a US Postal Service Mail Delivery vehicle that was trapped along the side of the road.

When firefighters arrived on scene, they located the victim inside the truck who was trapped after the door had been jammed shut due to the impact. The mail carrier sustained only a leg injury in the crash.
