City Carrier Assistant Skyler Wilburg was in the parking lot of the Albertson, NY, Post Office recently when a customer pulled up in an SUV.
The customer got out of her vehicle with the intent of handing her letters to Wilburg, but tripped.
The vehicle then started to roll away because it hadn’t been properly put in park.
Wilburg pulled the customer away from danger, jumped into the moving vehicle and put it in park.
Postmaster Diana DeDomenico said the woman got back into the SUV and drove away.
The customer later saw Wilburg on his route and expressed her appreciation for his actions.
