ELMIRA, N.Y. (WENY) In light of Hunger Action Month, businesses went head-to-head at the Food Bank of the Southern Tier Friday morning to help kids get the meals they need this fall.
Dozens of drivers passed a Broome County resident trapped under a truck on Route 17 east of Binghamton desperately waving his arms for assistance until a Port Crane man stopped to help.
70-year-old Thomas Nowetner of Hillcrest was on his way to pick up a delivery for the Food Bank of the Southern Tier Friday morning when he pulled over to secure an item in the back of his vehicle.
Nowetner said his pickup truck rolled, knocking him down and pinning his leg under the vehicle. He said it was a scary situation as other motorists on the highway in the town of Windsor sped by at 70 miles an hour and three feet away.
