Woman paralyzed after man falls from tree onto her at Kentucky music festival
Louisville police said a tree limb broke, sending the man onto her and leaving her with a spinal cord injury that may keep her from walking again.
- During the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky, Tennessee resident Jamie Ulshoffer was struck when a man fell from a nearby tree, leaving her hospitalized with a severe spinal injury.
- The Louisville Metro Police Department reported that a tree limb broke, causing the fall that severed Jamie's spinal cord and left her paralyzed from the waist down.
- Emergency crews transported Jamie to UofL Hospital after nearby officers provided first aid; she remains in intensive care with her husband, Conor Ulshoffer, at her side.
