Paramedics responded to a 911 call at the Reitz Union on Wednesday night.
According to a Reitz Union injury report, Jonneshia Prude, an employee at Pollo Tropical, was hit in the head after reaching for pans on the top shelf of a rack.
Prude, a Santa Fe College student working for Gator Dining Services, said she was fine and continued working, according to a witness from the report.
She collapsed soon after entering a walk-in cooler.
An employee then called Gainesville Fire Rescue at approximately 7:23 p.m.
Prude was taken by stretcher to North Florida Regional Medical Center wearing a neck brace.
The manager of Pollo Tropical would not comment on the incident.
