Rescue crews blamed the malfunction on a car door that was opened.
First responders in Oregon said they had to rescue a passenger who became trapped inside a car that was crushed by an automated parking system.
Portland Fire & Rescue posted on Facebook that the incident happened a few weeks ago at a rotating car parking system in a multi-president complex. They said the issue started with an open car door but didn't elaborate on how it caused the system to malfunction. Rescue crews said they dropped a ladder into a space after turning the system off to get to the passenger. The passenger was uninjured and freed,
