A motorist stranded during the blizzard in New York is being praised for his heroic efforts to make sure others were safe.
On Friday, the extreme weather stranded the young man in Cheektowaga and the moment he began running out of gas early Saturday, he abandoned his vehicle and hiked toward a local school.
“My mission was just to keep going out and grabbing as many people as I can and to just keep going,” Withey said, adding he walked until tears began streaming down his face because he was so exhausted. When it seemed safe to emerge on Sunday, Withey used a snowblower he found to dig everyone’s cars out.
