Rural Carrier Associate Jayson Himes was recently delivering mail in Neoga, IL, when he spotted a truck outside a residence rolling backward with its hood up.
Upon closer inspection, Himes found that a customer had been crushed by the vehicle while working on it.
The Postal Service employee immediately called 911 and comforted the man until paramedics arrived.
The customer was flown to a hospital, and doctors credited Himes with saving the man’s life.
