HYANNIS – First of all, nobody was hurt and we’re talking about a routine minor fender bender…

… but when it involves a mailman and an off duty Barnstable police officer, there’s bound to be added scrutiny.

At about 2:50PM this afternoon, police responded to a two car collision on Route 28 in front of the middle school.

According to sources on scene, a mailman reached down for his soft drink when his truck rammed into the rear end of a Barnstable Police Patrolman’s personal vehicle… the patrolman happened to have been off duty at the time…

A BPD dispatcher immediately notified a supervisor to respond, since the accident involved a police officer. People from the postal service also responded to investigate.

The soft drink – a “coke” – reportedly spattered all over the inside of the mail truck… but it appears most of the beverage was contained to the driver’s compartment … and it did not appear any letters were damaged.
