State Police Investigator Joshua Kean was returning to the Schodack station around 9 p.m. when he came upon two cars stopped on the side of the road with their hazard lights flashing, State Police said.
The motorists directed Kean to a man — later identified as 44-year-old Mark R. Mattice of Albany — lying on the shoulder of the road next to a bicycle.
Kean radioed for help, including a trooper with automated external defibrillator, while an off-duty State Park Police officer, Michael Maycheck, stopped at the scene to help Kean with CPR, State Police said.
Within minutes, two others, Trooper Patrick Hogan and Investigator Tim Northrup, arrived on the scene with a defibrillator. Northrup worked the defibrillator while the other three performed chest compressions on Mattice, troopers said.
EMS workers shocked Mattice twice, getting him to breath on his own. He was taken by ambulance to Albany Memorial Hospital.
