On Sunday night in Pittsburgh, an escalator accident claimed the life of a football fan.
After the Steelers-Jets game finished at 4:45 p.m., the unnamed guy fell from the escalator, according to sources.
A source reported that paramedics treated him on the spot before rushing him to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
The hospital was unable to save the fan, and he passed away from his wounds.
Burt Lauten, a spokesperson for the Steelers, stated in a statement that “we are aware of an unfortunate situation that occurred inside Acrisure Stadium today,” according to sources.
