Tri-Clover Fire Chief Jeff Johnson tells The Morning Call of Allentown the man was cutting limbs from a large tree on a property in North Whitehall, Lehigh County when he was struck by a branch Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson says workers on the ground were lowering cut branches when a gust of wind blew one into the man in the tree. The man was lowered to the ground in a basket after a 45-minute ordeal.
Authorities did not release the man's name. He was transported to a hospital for treatment.
