Cape post office’s lobby is no more after car drives into it

No one was injured when a red Cadilac crashed into the front of the Yarmouth Port post office Wednesday.


An investigation is underway after a car crashed into a Cape Cod post office on Wednesday, destroying the building’s front entrance.

The incident happened just after 1 p.m. at the Yarmouth Port post office. Yarmouth police received a report that a vehicle had “accelerated through a parking space” and into the building.

Police shared a photo of the scene in a Facebook post, which showed a red Cadillac lodged in the building’s entrance.

The car “came to rest almost entirely in the post office lobby. The elderly driver was not injured,” police said.
