A fan who uses a wheelchair was hospitalized this weekend after falling over a railing at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C., during the Las Vegas Aces WNBA preseason game Saturday versus the Puerto Rican National Team.

As reported by The State, Jonathan Cotten wrote in a social media post that his 27-year-old daughter Kayla fell 10 feet from her seat onto concrete and offered suggestions for how he said arena staff could’ve handled the situation differently. Kayla wrote in a separate post that she was moved to ADA seating in the rafters and away from the seats she paid for “cuz no place wants to be accessible.”
