Memphis, TN (August 7, 2025) – Emergency responders were quick to the scene of a serious early morning crash Thursday in South Memphis involving a United States Postal Service mail truck and another vehicle. The accident occurred around 2:15 a.m. near the intersection of Mississippi Blvd and Race St, drawing a significant response from law enforcement and medics due to the chaos and injuries reported.

According to Memphis Police Department (MPD), the incident began when officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a white Infiniti. The driver allegedly swerved around another vehicle and ran a red light before crashing into a USPS mail truck that had the right-of-way. The collision caused a utility pole to be knocked down, resulting in a transformer sparking overhead and debris scattered across the intersection.

Emergency responders from Memphis Fire and Rescue arrived promptly, working to stabilize the scene and treat those injured. Three individuals sustained a variety of injuries. The driver and passenger of the Infiniti were reported to be in critical condition and transported for urgent medical care. The driver of the mail truck was evaluated at the scene and is expected to recover.

MPD continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including the actions of the Infiniti driver prior to the collision. As of now, no additional information regarding charges or citations has been released.

Our thoughts go out to those injured in this accident as they recover.

Accidents involving mail trucks and high-speed police pursuits often create dangerous scenarios for both drivers and the public. In this Memphis collision, the involvement of a fleeing driver who ran a red light underscores the risks associated with reckless behavior on city roads. Mississippi Blvd and Race St is a well-trafficked area that borders residential neighborhoods and businesses, making incidents like this especially concerning for local safety.

The downed utility pole and sparking transformer not only complicated rescue efforts but posed further hazards to emergency crews and nearby residents. It’s fortunate that first responders were able to intervene quickly and prevent additional harm. The disruption of essential infrastructure, such as mail delivery and electricity, also adds layers of impact that ripple through the local community.

As investigations progress, Memphis officials will likely review traffic camera footage and witness accounts to determine what enforcement or safety measures may help reduce the risk of similar collisions in the future. Accidents of this magnitude highlight the importance of adhering to traffic laws and underscore the role law enforcement plays in trying to prevent such incidents from escalating.
