The man was working at Skytop Caterers on Airport Road, which is in building one of the airport. Someone was backing a Lincoln Navigator SUV against the building, according to Kieran O'Leary, public information officer for the Westchester County Police Department, which is investigating the incident.

An employee went out to assist the driver when the driver hit the gas instead of the brakes, O'Leary said. The SUV accelerated up two front steps and struck the man, knocking him into double doors, O'Leary said

The man was seriously injured and taken to Westchester Medical Center, O'Leary said. Police are investigating but O'Leary said the incident looks like an accident.

O'Leary said traffic was not impacted as a result of the accident.
