CRANBERRY TWP — A hunter was injured this morning after falling out of a tree stand.

The unidentified female hunter, said to be in her mid-20s, fell about 20 feet to the ground in a wooded area behind Rose Drive, police said.

“We don’t have a lot of hunting injuries here,” said Sgt. Chuck Mascellino of the Cranberry Police Department. “But they are common this time of year.”

A Stokes basket provided by the township volunteer fire department had to be used to transport the hunter to a Quality EMS ambulance.

She was then taken to Allegheny General Hospital to be treated for injuries.

Mascellino said her injuries were not life-threatening.
