A teen was pulled to safety from a rushing river in New Castle over the weekend.
The 16-year-old was clinging to the edge of a tree that had fallen in the middle of Big Run Creek in Lawrence County around 8:30 p.m. Saturday. The teen’s friends flagged down a local firefighter that was nearby on a different call to help.
A water rescue team was called in and rescued the boy. He told first responders he had attempted to jump onto the tree and jump back to shore but didn’t make it.
