A fall in a wooded area behind his home sent 34 year old Jeremy Harris to Huntsville Hospital by Air Evac Lifeteam helicopter Friday afternoon.  Harris was evidently working in a wooded area behind his home when he fell and was unable to move.  He called his wife by cell phone who in turn called 911 for assistance.  Rescue workers had to carry Harris approximately 1/4 mile out of the wooded area to a waiting ambulance.  He was transported by the ambulance to the helicopter landing zone in a nearby pasture.
