USPS temporarily suspends services at Lockhill Post Office after woman crashes car into building

SAN ANTONIO – The United States Postal Service temporarily suspended services at a North Side post office after a woman crashed her car into the building Wednesday morning, according to a USPS spokesperson.

Officers dispatched for a reported collision just before 11 a.m. at the Lockhill Post Office in the 12900 block of Huebner Road, according to a San Antonio police preliminary report.

When officers arrived, SAPD said they found a older woman who inadvertently drove into the post office.

The unidentified woman was treated for her injuries and later taken to a hospital in an unknown condition, SAPD said. Police said the woman may have suffered a “health episode,” during the crash.

Becky Hernandez, a USPS spokesperson, said the post office’s front door, retail lobby and P.O. box lobby were damaged following the crash.

Hernandez said no injuries were reported, and it is unclear when the repairs would be completed.

For any customers affected, retail services are available at its Cedar Elm Post Office located at 5837 De Zavala Road between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Mail for P.O. Box customers will be secured at the Lockhill Post Office until it can be safely retrieved, Hernandez said.
