A woman delivering mail was injured when her sport utility vehicle was struck by a truck in Hopewell Township Tuesday morning.
A Jeep Liberty driven by Diann L. Graham, 47, of Tiffin, and a Chevrolet pickup driven by Nicholas W. Bumb, 25, of Carey, were southwest-bound on CR 591, according to State Highway Patrol.
Trooper Jim Van Camp of the Fremont post of State Highway Patrol said the Jeep was stopped, partially off the roadway, to deliver mail to a mailbox. The truck ran into the rear of the Jeep, he said.
