Allen dislocated an elbow, broke a bone in the left arm, and sustained bruises but survived the fall with a dramatic, near miraculous escape. The incident occurred amid Rio Grande area development reports and local Christmas notices at Riverside Restaurant offering 25 cent meals and a turkey dinner on Christmas Day.
