WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. By John F. Bailey. April 25, 2004:  White Plains man Rob Tamboia was chauffering a couple home through White Plains Friday night heading northbound on Mamaroneck Avenue at Gedney Way when a southbound SUV ahead of him went out of control and flipped over on its roof.

Ron pulled to a stop, raced to the hapless vehicle to see if he could help the driver who was conscious out of the car.Seeing the driver trapped inside, and not knowing if the vehichle would explode in flames any minute, Tamboia went to his own car, pulled out a jack. Tamboia said the van was on its roof, and because the door to the SUV curved up onto the roof, they could not be opened.

Ron used his jack to smash the front door window and help the injured driver out of the car. White Plains Police and a fire truck and ambulance arrived moments later.
