Another toddler survives fall from window

 

 
 
 

A two-year-old girl is going to be OK after tumbling out of a thirdstorey apartment window on Saturday.

"Fortunately, there were no broken bones or injury," Surrey RCMP spokesman Curtis Harling said.

The incident happened at 2: 15 p.m., in the 12100block of 75A Avenue.

Police said the girl's mom was busy with some food on the stove while her daughter climbed up some furniture that had been piled near a window.

When the mother returned, she found the screen had been pushed out. The toddler fell 25 feet and landed in a bush. Paramedics rushed the girl to Royal Columbian Hospital, where she was kept under observation.

A little more than a week ago, a four-year-old boy fell out of a second-storey window in Whalley.

Last summer, a two-year-old boy fell out of the third-floor window of a townhouse in South Surrey. Despite landing on pavement, he escaped with only a broken nose.
