A box truck slammed into a post office in the Philadelphia suburbs Thursday morning, forcing customers of the Delaware County post office to use another facility.
The crash happened around 6 a.m. at 101 East Baltimore Ave. in Media, Pennsylvania, according to county dispatchers.
A driver somehow lost control of the truck and slammed into the customer service area, leaving a large hole in the side of the U.S. post office building.

The area was empty at the time and no postal employees were hurt, an operations manager said. The driver didn't appear to be seriously hurt.
The crash forced the USPS to "temporarily close" the Media post office, USPS spokesperson Paul Smith said. It wasn't clear when the post office might reopen.
"Customers are asked to go to the Springfield Post Office, 1138 Baltimore Pike, Springfield, PA for retail services (8 a.m. – 5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday)," Smith wrote. "The Postal Service thanks our customers for their understanding and support. All our employees are safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with the driver."
