A man was transported by ambulance with nonlife-threatening injuries to Overland Park Regional Medical Center after falling from a tree stand near Baldwin City on Tuesday evening.
The tree stand, located near the 100 block of East 1500 Road, was roughly 30 feet high according to dispatch traffic.

"According to dispatch traffic." How about actually checking to see what's going on instead of just listening to scanner traffic. Scanner traffic is generally only part of what really happened. Be a reporter instead of just someone who regurgitates information.

If it matters so much to you, why don't you drive out to Baldwin with a tape measure? As for me, "roughly 30 feet high" is as accurate as I need to know.

How about wishing the injured person a full and speedy recovery. I hope all turns out ok without any ongoing problems. Tis the season when we want to get outdoors and hike, shoot, climb....be careful and remember cell phones don't work in all places. Let someone know where you'll be and when.

You should be more kind when responding to stories you are very little informed of. I was born and raised in Lawrence and some of you probably know me, and wouldn't of known unless I told you that he is a cousin of mine. These things hit closer to home than you might realize. FYI, it was an equipment malfunction not ignorance that caused this accident. Show a little respect.
