Louisiana casino closed after accident involving broken cable

A broken cable caused two workers to suffer injuries at a Louisiana casino on Wednesday, temporarily shuttering the venue.

The men were rushed to a local hospital and were reported in stable condition as of earlier this week. That’s following the incident at the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino in Baton Rouge.

One victim suffered fractures and the other had shoulder and elbow pain.

According to officials at the Baton Rouge Fire Department, a cable connected to a ramp snapped, causing lights, ceiling fans, and glass doors to fall to the floor. After the incident, the casino was temporarily closed.
