RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - Authorities say a man is lucky to be alive Friday afternoon after he had to be cut out of a tree stand in Rankin County.
The incident occurred after 1 p.m., in a wooded area about a mile and a half south of North Star Road.
“We had some people that took us back in the woods probably a mile, mile and a quarter … and true enough, he was hanging upside down,” said Rankin County Emergency Management Director Mike Word.
