Rogers Middle School in Kings Park, NY, nearly five miles away, someone spotted a person inside the truck's trash receptacle. One man was pulled from the rubbish and immediately transported to Huntington Hospital for treatment of a leg injury.Police believe the two men were likely asleep inside the dumpster and caught unaware when the garbage truck arrived for collection.

The middle school closed one parking lot while emergency personnel responded, but school operations were unaffected.
