Eagle Lake residents awake to shattered mailboxes

Eagle Lake residents near Sullivan Cove and Ramsey Lane awoke to discover their mailboxes shattered along the side of the roadway.

The bank of mailboxes was on a 4-inch metal beam that was embedded a couple of feet into the ground. Tire tracks indicate that a vehicle left the roadway sometime over night and fled the scene. “They had to be going hard to make this much damage,” said Eagle Lake resident Chuck Fisher.

A trail of engine fluids from the scene led to a damaged vehicle that was parked near the mailbox carnage. Warren County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the event.
