Narrative

A maintenance employee was working on the overhead garage door shaft at the center. He turned the power to the door off so he could work on it. He climbed up a ladder and was working on the door when a customer pulled up and entered their code, and the door started to open. Another employee came to help get the door down and the ladder fell. The maintenance employee fell and sustained a fractured left leg, a broken tooth, and a right shoulder contusion. The employee was hospitalized.
