Brake time

Letter Carrier Daniel Saposnick was recently delivering mail in Riverhead, NY, when he saw a 92-year-old customer fall facedown in the middle of a road.

Saposnick rushed to the woman’s aid, called 911 and protected her from traffic until emergency responders arrived.

Her son later mailed a letter to the local Post Office.

“He never left her side,” the man wrote. “My mom is still recovering with me … and when she returns, she will want to thank Dan personally.”

He added: “May God bless all you postal workers.”
