PORT TREVORTON — A 36-year-old man reported missing late Sunday night near Port Trevorton was found alive by rescuers around 10 a.m. this morning.
The man, whose name was not immediately released by officers at the scene, was found on a ridge behind the village of Port Trevorton which is along Routes 11-15 in Union Township, about five miles south of Selinsgrove — on farmland that is reportedly used for hunting.
State police and fire company searchers initially began looking for the lost man around 10:30 p.m., Sunday, but then suspended the search until this morning around 8:30 a.m.
Searchers scoured several locations, including fields near the Susquehanna River. However, around 9:45 a.m., a state police helicopter was seen circling the ridge area and shortly afterward, an ambulance was summoned to the spot where the missing man had been found.
He was transported to a local hospital and his medical condition was not clear.
