This carrier helped a man who was injured after being rear-ended

Letter Carrier Matthew Civiok was recently delivering mail in Baldwinsville, NY, when he saw a motorcycle lying in the middle of the road.

The bike appeared to be mangled from an accident. Civiok then spotted a man nearby who looked to be badly injured.

The Postal Service employee approached the man, who told him that he had been rear-ended by another driver who fled the scene. The man was covered in bruises, cuts and blood, and he said he was experiencing severe chest pain.

Civiok called 911 and then helped the man call his wife while they waited for paramedics to arrive.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated for his injuries.

The motorcyclist fully recovered and later thanked Civiok for stopping to help.
