TOWN OF SALINA, NY-- A woman was working underneath a Jeep Wrangler on Sunday when the vehicle fell off the jack and onto her, Onondaga County sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Jon Seeber said.

The 51-year-old woman, whose name was not released, was working on the 2012 Jeep in the driveway of 485 Pleastantview Ave. in the town of Salina at 6:25 p.m. when the accident happened, Seeber said.

The woman was trapped under the vehicle and bleeding from the head, according to the 911 call.

Lyncourt volunteer firefighters responded to the call, jacked the vehicle up and freed the woman, Seeber said.

An ambulance took the woman to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse with facial injuries, Seeber said. The woman was in stable condition Sunday night and her injuries are not life-threatening, he said.
