Branch 38's recent hero acknowledgement

Pictured above is Branch 38 President Michael J O'Neill with Armando Pedreira.

Armando is a Dover NJ Letter Carrier and Shop Steward. He also holds the position of Branch Trustee and Area Representative.

On Monday, June 7th, 2021, Armando was sitting in his Postal vehicle, while on his lunch break. He wittnessed a logging truck crash into an SUV and flip over on Route 10 in Randolph Township. Armando rushed to the scene of the accident, along with a police officer who happened to be nearby. The police officer was attempting to assist the occupants of the SUV, and Armando offered help. The officer went to check on the driver of the truck, and Armando stayed with the family in the SUV.

The family in the SUV were brazilian. Armando speaks Portuguese, and was able to communicate with the driver. The occupants of the SUV were brother and sister, ten and eight years of age, and their grandmother, the driver. Although injured herself, the grandmother was more concerned about the children. Armando saw that the little girl was concsious and alert, but could not see the boy, and assured the grandmother that the girl was alright. The father of the children arrived at the scene and removed the girl from the car. The father and Armando, with the help of others, then tore the door off the vehicle in order to get to the boy. The boy was unconsious and obviously injured. The father was finally able to lift the boy out of the car, and the boy regained consiousness. All three were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The grandmother was released later that evening. The young girl suffered injuries and is currently undergoing physical therapy. The boy's injuries were very serious, but he is expected to recover over time. There is no question that Armandos efforts were critical in saving the life of the young boy.

Armando was very reluctant to share this experience with anyone, stating that he did not do anything anyone else would have done.

Congratulations to Letter Carrier Donna Rumelhart. Donna Retired after a 48 year career as a Letter Carrier at the Piscataway NJ Post Office.

Please see our Retiree page for a letter of recognition.
