The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office says a UPS truck driver was carjacked Tuesday evening at the corner of Avenue R and 29th Street in Fort Pierce.

The robbery happened at about 6:30 p.m.

The driver, identified as Oscar Nunez, 33, said two black men in their early 20s pointed a handgun at him and told him they were taking the truck. Nunez was not injured or hurt.
