A man was rescued by Punxsutawney first responders after falling off a cliff near the old trestle by Route 119.
Today’s Punxsutawney Spirit says Punxsy Fire Rescue, prompted by Jefferson County 911, conducted a confined space rescue. The victim fell near Elk Street, close to the skatepark, landing about 30 feet below near the trestle supports.
The Spirit adds Firefighters used a stokes basket to lift him back up, and Jefferson County EMS transported him to Punxsutawney Area Hospital. No information on his condition was immediately provided.
