Man Suffers Stroke While Hunting
A 65-year-old hunter from Tioga County had to be rescued from the Allegheny National Forest after suffering a stroke while hunting Monday morning.
Tom Mehalko of the Wilcox Volunteer Fire Department says the man's hunting partner used a cell to call for help, but it took emergency crews nearly five hours to get him out of the forest and to the hospital because of nearly impassable roads.
They used a 4-by-4 four-wheeler to get the man out of the forest, then Medic 12 took him to Elk Regional Health Center.
