TRUCKIN': The area right behind the Kennett Post Office isn't a parking lot

"Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." The U.S. Postal Service motto doesn't mention a car blocking the parking lot, though.
The area directly behind the Kennett Square Post Office is designated as a no-parking zone because the trucks that pick up and deliver the mail need access to the loading dock. There's not a no-parking sign, though (it was knocked down by a tractor-trailer), so on Friday afternoon an unaware motorist parked in the lot.
When the mail trucks couldn't get to the loading dock, the drivers started complaining to the postal employees. The employees ran around to local stores, searching for the driver. They then called the borough police, who ran the license plate and found it belonged to a woman who lives at a local retirement community. It seems she had come into town to visit her accountant -- but the poor woman fell and had to be taken to the Premier Urgent Care clinic to be checked out. That's why her car was sitting in the lot for nearly two hours. Finally her grandson arrived and moved it.
Because of the car, the truck picking up the outgoing express mail was delayed in leaving the post office, possibly jeopardizing the guaranteed next-day delivery. The employees -- though they feel bad for the injured woman -- are bracing for complaints on Monday.
