A 60 year old man is hospitalized after falling about 30 feet while working in Pawleys Island Tuesday morning.
It happened at about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday as the man — whose name has not been released — was on a ladder cutting down a tree branch on Martin Luther King Road, authorities said.
As he was working, he was hit by a swinging branch causing the fall.
A medical helicopter, which landed at Pawleys Island Community Church, transported the man to the Medical University of South Carolina.
