Narrative

Six employees were walking on a sidewalk between buildings on campus during inclement weather when a tree fell. One employee was hospitalized after she was struck by the tree branches, causing her to fall and a branch fell on her legs. She sustained multiple fractures (skull, neck, spine, shoulder, and ribs) and a subdural hematoma. Two other employees were treated at the hospital and released.
