U.K. Man in Coma After Escalator Incident

A Doncaster, U.K., man is in a coma after suffering injuries when he fell down a “broken” escalator at the city’s transport interchange, the Doncaster Free Press reports. The man’s family say the escalator, which connects the Frenchgate shopping center and the transport interchange, was broken at the time of the incident. It is reported he fell from the top to the bottom of the escalator and was “declared dead” at the scene before being resuscitated and taken to Doncaster Royal Infirmary, where he was being treated in the hospital’s critical care unit. The man’s family are “demanding answers” as to the state of the escalator and level of the emergency response, the source reports.
