Five Year Old Falls Five Metres After Falling Through A Fly Screen Window
In a stable condition
A five-year-old girl has fallen through a fly screen on a second-storey window, falling five metres to the ground from a western Sydney home.
NSW Ambulance paramedics attended an Amiens Avenue home in Milperra on Monday at about midday to a report the young child had fallen out of a window.
Three crews were on the scene along with a specialist medical team including a critical care doctor and a critical care paramedic.
The child was treated for chest, abdominal and wrist injuries and was taken to The Children's Hospital at Westmead in a stable condition.
NSW Ambulance Inspector Craig Watkins said the girl was “extremely fortunate” not to have been more seriously injured.
“It’s obviously a worrying time for the family and they did a great job comforting the patient until we arrived on scene,” Watkins said.
