A large collection of records from John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, and Thyssenkrupp Elevators show trouble existed at the hospital before a nurse was crushed Jan. 20 as she tried to step onto one of the three elevators in the hospital’s tower, according to an article on the Star-Telegram website.
She suffered severe brain damage, internal injuries and has had multiple seizures and surgeries.
A review of records found that people had been trapped in that elevator at least 13 times between March 2018 and January 2019. In most of the cases, work orders say that the elevator was “reset.”
The Star-Telegram counted more than 360 work orders for elevators at all JPS locations from January 2018 to January 2019. Those include work orders for general maintenance, such as dead light bulbs and leaky roofs.
