Woman Paralyzed when Man Falls Out of Tree, Lands on Top of Her at Music Festival
A GoFundMe has raised more than $13,000 as Jamie Ulshoffer remains in intensive care after a severed spinal cord, her family said.
On Friday, Jamie Ulshoffer was left paralyzed after a man fell from a tree onto her during a Knocked Loose set at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville.
A tree limb reportedly broke, causing the man to fall on Ulshoffer while she stood near the back of the tented Impact Stage, which her husband Conor witnessed.
Ulshoffer remains in the ICU at UofL Hospital with a severed spinal cord; despite her condition, she told WHAS11, "He shouldn't have been up there," adding she will forgive the man.
Police reported on Tuesday that no criminal investigation would be opened, classifying the incident as civil; Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg noted, "Anytime somebody is injured at one of our events, I feel for them."
Family members have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover medical expenses, which has raised more than $13,000 towards a $22,000 target as Ulshoffer begins her recovery.
