Bill Pay- Postal Truck Accident: May 23, 2013

We were notified that a tractor trailer carrying US Mail struck a barrier in Louisville KY, causing the truck to flip and become engulfed in flames.  The truck was destined for the Greensboro/Raleigh NC plant for processing.

Fortunately the driver of the vehicle was able to escape with only minor injuries.  However, the majority of the trailer's contents were completely destroyed by a combination of the fire and rain.

If any mail is determined to be salvageable, the US Postal Service will ensure that it reaches the addressee or will be sent back to the sender.

Our check processor has alerted us that bill payment checks, from a number of credit unions, processed on 5/20/13 and 5/21/13 with zip codes starting with 270-279 and 286 have a potential of being on this truck.  We were informed that the total number of checks is under 500. At this time we do not know that any of our members’ bill pays were in this truck. If we do learn of any members being affected, we will contact those members right away.

However, there is not a way for our processor to confirm which checks were loaded on the truck.  As a result, a check reprint will not occur.  Please monitor your accounts for payments going to the zip codes above that may not reach their intended destination. Please contact us if you have questions.
