1 Injured At New City Ambulance Corps Building

NEW CITY, NY — Clarkstown police rushed to the New City Volunteer Ambulance Corps building at 2:30 p.m. Friday on early reports that a wall partially collapsed.

Arriving officers were quickly able to determine that this was not a building collapse, but rather an injured construction worker, police said.

A man working on the building at 200 Congers Rd in New City had his hand caught between construction equipment and the wall they were working on. New City Ambulance and Rockland Medics 3 rendered aid to the injured worker. The 49-year-old was transported to Westchester Medical Center for further treatment. New City Fire Department along with the Clarkstown Fire Inspector and Building Inspector all came to the scene, police said.
