Anatomy of a Hit and Run Accident

Due to the significant snow accumulation (6-8") and extremely icy road conditions, my USPS Vehicle fell victim to a hit-and-run driving accident.

I was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident, as I was carrying mail by foot some two blocks away.

Upon return to the vehicle, I noticed that the front right tire had come to rest above the curb, and immediately realized that the rear left of my vehicle had been struck by another moving vehicle.

Minor damage resulted, and since the vehicle had been properly parked and braked, I was determined to be not-at-fault in the accident assessment.

I used my cell phone camera to take the following pictures:
