LOCKPORT, N.Y. — A New York State Trooper received cheers and applause on last week as he was released from Erie County Medical Center.
Sergeant Station Commander Salvatore 'Sam' Mattina underwent multiple life-threatening surgeries, after he was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash that happened back in September.
Now, his family is hoping that they can give back in a way that truly helped save the sergeant's life.
On Sunday, October 27 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. there will be a blood drive held in support of Mattina.
In a flyer for the blood drive it reads "Sam was rushed to ECMC where he has needed multiple surgeries, blood transfusions and immediate medical attention for his brain bleed and multiple complex fractures. Sam is so grateful for ECMC and all their work."
The ConnectLife bus which will be collecting blood donations for the drive, will be located at 6566 Dysinger Road in Lockport on the day of the event.
