HOUSTON - A postal worker was taken to the hospital Saturday after her mail truck was hit by two drivers allegedly speed racing.

Police said two men were racing down Scott street in southeast Houston when one of the men hit the mail truck.

The postal worker was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Neighbors said drivers often speed in the area and they're concerned for their safety.

"We have too many kids in the community for the kids to decide they want to do a drag race. There's a bus stop right there that people sit at. He could have lost control and if someone was sitting at the bus stop, could have killed them." said a witness to the crash.

The driver who hit the postal worker's vehicle had only minor injuries, police said.

Both drivers who were allegedly racing were arrested at the scene and have been charged with reckless driving.
