DONALDSONVILLE - The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office rescued a woman pinned under a tree Wednesday night.
Officials say they responded around 8 p.m. and the incident happened on Elizabeth and 1st Streets in Donaldsonville. Deputies used chainsaws and jacks to help free her in around 40 minutes.
“The Good Lord was with her. Six inches one way or the other and it would have crushed her," Captain Jeff Griffin said.
The woman only suffered leg injuries as a result of the fallen tree. She was transported to a local hospital.
