On Saturday afternoon, Mt. Carmel Police and local emergency crews successfully rescued a 62-year-old man who had been missing overnight after mushroom hunting near the 3rd Street overpass. After an extensive three-hour search, members of the Bellmont Fire Department found the man about half a mile northeast of the overpass, pinned under a fallen tree down a railroad embankment. The man, who had fallen Friday afternoon, suffered minor injuries and was alert when rescued. He was transported to a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery thanks to the quick response of area first responders.
