Marsha Witherspoon was headed to breakfast after dropping her granddaughter at daycare when something caught her eye along Brittles Lane and Farrand Street in Henrico County.
"I just saw some papers in the ground, in the street. So I kept driving a little bit, and I said, 'Wait, that's mail!'" Witherspoon said.
She turned around and discovered a trail of scattered mail that stretched nearly a quarter mile.
"The mail was everywhere, coming from everywhere," Witherspoon said. "It was so much mail, it felt like we was never going to finish. It was just so much."
Among the discarded items, Witherspoon says she found checks, car decals and even birthday cards with the contents missing.
Witherspoon spent more than an hour collecting the discarded mail.
