LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles County man sued the United States after he was allegedly in a car accident with a U.S. Post Office vehicle.

Plaintiff Jonathan Flores filed the complaint on April 28 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Flores says he was heading west on 153rd St. near Grevillea Ave. on February 24, 2020, when a government employee in his official U.S. Post Office vehicle heading south towards the same intersection ran a stop sign and hit Flores' vehicle. 

The U.S. denied Flores' claim in August, according to the lawsuit. 

The defendant is charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle. 

Flores is represented by the Downtown LA Law Group in his request for compensation for his injuries.
