Three people were stuck in an elevator near the first floor of the PLC building on the University of Oregon campus Saturday, Sept. 28 at 5:06 p.m. The individuals waited approximately 15 to 20 minutes before the Eugene Fire Department resolved the issue.

UOPD Spokesman Kelly McIver believes the situation was caused by a mechanical issue but there will be closer examination of the problem on Monday. There will be workers on standby should another situation arise. All elevators have call boxes that passengers can use if any issues occur.
