Miami police and officers with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service were at the scene. The USPS truck appeared to sustain damage to the rear, while a black sedan had serious front-end damage. 

According to a Miami police spokeswoman, the Chrysler was traveling north on Northwest 17th Avenue at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control and crashed the car into a light pole before hitting a corner store and then the USPS truck.

Police said the USPS employee was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Two people inside the Chrysler, a man and a woman, were also taken to JMH with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the man and woman are not cooperating with officers and it's unclear who was driving the car.

It's unclear whether anyone will face charges.
