A man is in stable condition after police say he was dragged over a hillside with his vehicle Friday evening.
First responders received reports of the incident in the 3400 block of E. Carson Street shortly before 5 p.m., according to Pittsburgh Public spokeswoman Cara Cruz.
Witnesses told members police and firefighters that the man was trying to push his disabled vehicle off the roadway and into a parking space when he lost control and was dragged over a hill. He landed near the CSX train tracks below, Cruz said.
Train traffic was stopped while rescue crews stabilized the man and brought him back up the hill.
According to Cruz, the man suffered a broken arm and had facial cuts. He was alert and was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
The vehicle was towed from the scene.
