A man had to be rushed to the hospital after falling 35 feet into a stairwell at Qwest Field after the Seahawks’ loss to the Eagles on Sunday. The man is still alive, but his condition has not been released.
The victim, described as a 34-year-old man, fell from one level of Qwest Field to the one below, said a spokesperson for the Seattle Fire Department.
Medics responded to the scene at about 5 p.m. and transported the man to Harborview Medical Center.
Witnesses at the scene said the man was hooked to an intravenous tube and a respirator as medics rushed him into the ambulance. They said the victim did not appear to be breathing on his own.
The accident happened after the Seahawks lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday’s NFL game.
At Harborview on Sunday night, the man’s friends said they had all traveled up from Portland for the game. They said the man’s family is on the way to Seattle to be by his side.
The poor guy had to sit through another Seahawks loss and then fall 35-feet into a stairwell. Things just aren’t very good in Seattle right now.
