Man Rescued from Creek
Emergency crews rescued a man who fell into a creek while trailing a wounded deer Thursday night.
Officials say 19-year-old Tyler Lyngarkos of Northeast was trailing the deer from Pennsylvania as it crossed into New York when he fell down an embankment and into 20-Mile Creek.
Rescuers were able to find him in the Town of Ripley by using the signals from his cell phone during his 9-1-1 call.
He was taken to a hospital, where he was given IV fluids and treated for cold exposure. His father, who was helping in the rescue effort, was treated for minor injuries to his leg and back.
Both father and son are in stable condition.
