Employee #1 fell, and his right foot and ankle became caught beneath the ramp as it also fell. The local fire department responded to the accident, provided first aid, and then transported Employee #1 to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, CA. He was treated for a compound fracture of his ankle, including two severed arteries.
