A Newsday delivery truck hit a Post Office building in Bellmore after the driver fell out of the vehicle while trying to retrieve a bundle of papers, police said.
The driver was taken to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow with minor injuries.
Officials said the post office was damaged. Nassau Fire Marshals and Town of Hempstead code enforcement officers were trying to determine if the building is structurally safe.
The driver was on Merrick Road when he hit a bump in the road and a bundle of papers started to bounce out of the truck, police said. The driver reached for the papers and both he and the bundle fell out the open door.
The driverless truck then struck the building, which is at the corner of Centre Avenue.
