BATON ROUGE — A construction worker who slipped and fell approximately three feet at the construction site at Tiger Stadium on Thursday night was taken to a local hospital, later released and is expected back to work early next week, said Mark Houck, construction manager for W.G. Yates and Sons Construction Company.
Terry Douglass, an employee of Wilstaff Employment, a temporary labor agency, was chipping concrete at the top of the lower bowl of Tiger Stadium Thursday evening when his foot slipped and he fell back approximately three feet onto the bleacher just below him.
Douglass was put on a backboard for precautionary measures and taken to the emergency room of Our Lady of the Lake Hospital where it was determined that he had no broken bones and a CAT scan showed no major injuries. Houck reported that Douglass has sore muscles in his arm and his back and doctors advised him to take a couple of days off from work.
