GEORGE COUNTY, MS – A George County man who was involved in a swimming accident is undergoing hospital treatment after sustaining an injury.
Doctors are trying to save the man’s life after he was injured on Saturday in Plum Bluff Estates in the Basin Community south of Lucedale.

After being pulled out of the water, CPR was performed on the victim and he was airlifted to USA Medical Center where he currently remains in critical condition.
