The driver of a United States Postal Service truck remains in critical condition after he was thrown from the vehicle when it crashed in Bowie, authorities said Friday.

Officials have not released the name of the mail truck driver.

Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady said on Twitter that the driver is a man between 25 and 30 years old who suffered critical, life-threatening injuries.

Police were called to the crash at Annapolis Road and Highbridge Road about 3 p.m. Thursday.

Investigators say the truck was westbound on Annapolis Road approaching the intersection with Highbridge Road. The mail truck driver may have lost control when he swerved to avoid an eastbound vehicle that was preparing to turn left, police say. The truck flipped over and crossed the median into eastbound Annapolis Road. No other cars were involved.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit at (301) 731-4422.
