Mailboxes knocked over by wayward driver along Alexander Road

By Howard B. Owens

A driver took down several mailboxes overnight along the 9100 block of Alexander Road heading southbound.

The car was apparently off the road for about at least a quarter mile south of Pike Road.

It's unclear how many mailboxes were knocked over or if there was any other property damage.

The car is believed to be a 1999 to 2001 Saturn, color purple. It suffered heavy right front end damage, with possible wheel damage on the right. It will be missing a right mirror.

If anybody knows of a vehicle matching that description, the Sheriff's Office can be contacted at 343-5000.

Deputy Brian Thompson is handling the investigation.

UPDATE: Deputy Thompson sends along this update:

Dark purple in color. It would look black at night. We have recovered right  (passenger side) quarter panel parts, front corner assembly, Saturn emblem,  corner marker light, hubcaps. A large multiple mailbox platform was struck, two newspaper boxes (metal posts) and it sideswiped another mailbox. Part numbers match from a 1999 to 2002. Collision persons believe it was a 1999 to 2001 by rust damage and earlier part numbers.
