A post office in Ridge has been closed indefinitely after a vehicle crashed into its lobby Tuesday afternoon, Suffolk County police said. No one was injured, according to the authorities.
Police said the incident at the post office building at 1700 Middle Country Road was reported on an 911 at around 1:25 p.m.
With police continuing their investigation on Tuesday, no further details were immediately revealed, but authorities said they suspected no crime.
