Carrier poses next to mail

Carbondale, PA, Letter Carrier Frank Surace was delivering mail recently when he saw a toddler walking into traffic on a busy street.

He ran to the girl and picked her up before she could step off the curb.

The postal employee then located the girl’s home and reunited her with her mother.

The woman was unaware the child had wandered off.
