Child Survives Nine Story Fall in White Oak
A girl, possibly about 3 years old, fell out of a ninth-floor window Wednesday, and suffered only minor injuries, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Pete Piringer said.
The child likely landed on bushes or mulch, Piringer said. An ambulance from the Hillandale Volunteer Fire Department took the girl to a hospital, he said.
The fall occurred about 1 p.m. at the Chateau Apartments on Mount Pisgah Road, White Oak.
She was in the apartment with a caregiver and other siblings, he said.
