SPANISH FORT, Ala. At approximately 9:25 a.m. on Monday, March 9th, 2026, 911 received a call for help along the causeway. The caller said that a person was stuck in an elevator.
Other callers identified that a cable snapped, the elevator car came down and people were injured.
The Spanish Fort fire Department was dispatched to a business located 1385 Battleship Parkway near the Felix Fish Camp.
Spanish Fort Fire Chief Few told me that it was a supply lift that was pulled by a winch cable. The injured party was riding the lift when it failed dropping them to the ground.
The person had head and leg injuries, and a medical helicopter was dispatched to the scene and transported one person to a trauma center.
In these types of accidents when an employee is injured at work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will take over the investigations.
