The woman stopped the vehicle, jumped out, and began removing the packages with the help of a stranger, according to the police report.
“We saw the mail carrier lady and a local neighbor helping take all of the Amazon packages out of the back while the truck was on burning immensely,” bystander Dominic Manzo told InsideEdition.com.
Manzo captured the ordeal on video.
“The postal worker was very concerned and brave at the same time. She just focused on one thing and that was getting the packages out safely,” said Manzo. “It was a very scary but uplifting story at the same time.”
