Mailman suffers laceration to head after grandmother crashes head-on

HIALEAH, Fla. – A mail carrier, a grandmother and a 1-year-old girl were taken to the hospital after a head-on crash.

The incident happened Friday at 305 West 68th St. in Hialeah.

The mailman stopped on the side of the road. Police said he was outside of his car, reaching in to get a package. That's when the driver of a Scion struck the front of his vehicle head-on.

Police said the mail carrier bumped his head on the truck and appeared to have a laceration to head. He was airlifted to a hospital.

A 1-year-old girl and 3-month-old girl were in the back seat of the Scion driven by their grandmother. Police said the 3-month-old girl suffered no injuries, but the 1-year-old girl was airlifted as a precaution.

The grandmother was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, police said.
