KISMET- A southwest Kansas post office is temporarily closed after a car crashed into the building just before 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Seward County Undersheriff Gene Ward said a 2013 Chevy Equinox driven by a 35 year old man crossed an empty lot, hit the corner of the post office and crashed into the city hall.

Emergency medical staff transported the driver to Southwest Medical Center.

The name of the driver, a resident of the town of fewer than 500 people 20 minutes northeast of Liberal, has not been released.

The accident remains under investigation. A medical condition may be responsible for the accident according to Ward.

Post office officials say rural customers will still get their mail delivered as normal, but those who have post office boxes in Kismet will have to pick up their mail in nearby Plains.

Post office spokesman Mike Mannington says the Kismet office will reopen after the building is determined to be structurally sound and the repairs have been completed.
