A Providence Place security vehicle hangs over the side of the 4th floor parking garage on the promenade side of the mall at about 11:15 this morning. The accident happened at 10:45 a.m. while a mall security officer was on mobile patrol in the garage, according to a statement from the mall. The driver, Ramon LaBoy, 22, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital when he complained of neck pain. He will probably be held overnight for observation, said Rubin Lawrence, a spokesman for Allied-Barton Security Services. Lawrence said the security company is investigating whether a mechanical malfunction caused the accident.

You have to be going faster than you should be going in a parking garage to drive through the side there.

that was a rather close call-maybe the barriers should be improved upon-

the parking deck at the promenade is treacherous, at best-

drive safely-
