NJ troopers save man's life after hunting accident in Sussex County
HAMPTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A hunting accident could have taken a tragic turn if it wasn't for the quick-thinking actions of state troopers.
Earlier this month, a man was found suffering from a gunshot wound at the Pequest Wildlife Management Area in Sussex County.
Troopers quickly sprung to action with life-saving measures, applying tourniquets and chest seals.
They then carried the victim about 200 yards to a State Police Utility Task Vehicle, so he could be safely transported to an awaiting ambulance.
