I wonder if it was another person breaking their leg cleaning Ro.

two people at the same time? Sounds like the simul rap duo at it again.

Talked to a couple people that were there today, sounded like a bit of a mess all around.
Ankle was from a lead fall on one of the slabs - first day climbing outside.
Leg was from ground fall on roadside - maybe not very high up, as only one piece was still in the crack.
Broken leg I can see calling help for - but if you sprain / break an ankle at Roadside (or most sport areas in the red), you and your partners(s) need to be able to at least get you to the parking area.
