Ephrata McDonald’s Employee Survives Frozen Ordeal

An employee of the Ephrata McDonald's called police to escape an "arctic tomb" Monday.

According to our news partner iFIBER ONE, Ephrata Police received a call just before 3:00 pm from a McDonald's employee who had locked themselves in the restaurant's outdoor freezer. The unidentified employee was unable to contact anyone inside the McDonald's so instead called the police, who soon responded and freed the individual.

The officer who documented the call added this final blotter note:

“Employee with McDonald’s requested (law enforcement) to assist with helping escape an arctic tomb.”

There were no injuries.
