Postal Worker Killed in Accident

NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA - September 11, 2007 (WPVI) -- Flowers mark the spots on a tree where a public servant lost his life.

He was on the clock doing his job, taking mail downtown when it happened.

Stunned postal workers visited the scene where their colleague, Matt Zebin, lost control of his truck and crashed into a tree.

The accident happened in the 68-hundred block of Oxford Avenue, near Unruh, around 3:00 Tuesday afternoon.

While the cause remains unclear, it is believed Zebin may have suffered a heart attack.

He worked out of the Fox Chase Post Office where his co-workers said he was very dependable. Zebin delivered mail for 18 years.

The mail in his truck was gathered after accident and delivered as scheduled.
