NEWBURGH, N.Y. — A quick-acting neighbor in Newburgh saved a man after he was trapped under a riding lawnmower. 

The Cronomer Valley Fire Department says the man’s wife called 911 after spending about 20 minutes trying to lift the lawn mower off of her husband.

They say a bystander later helped raise the mower which weighs more than 700 pounds.

He was hospitalized with heavy bruising to his chest, but in last check was in stable condition.
