Toddler Survives 3-Story Fall After Landing on Box Spring

A 2-year-old girl is recovering but still alive after she fell three stories from a Wilmington, Delaware home on Tuesday.

Police say the toddler was on the third floor of a home on the 200 block of N. Broom Street around 6:30 p.m. when she accidentally fell out of a window.

The girl landed on a box spring that had been thrown out behind the home, according to police, which likely saved her life.

The unidentified girl was taken to the hospital where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. She is currently in stable condition.

Police continue to investigate the incident. No charges have been filed.
