WORCESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - A toddler was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after falling from a second-story window of a Worcester home on Wednesday night, police said.
Emergency crews responding to Illinois Street just before 10 p.m. learned that a 3-year-old girl had pushed out the air conditioner from the second-floor window before falling out and landing on the pavement, according to Worcester police.
The mother had already driven the child to the hospital before officers arrived.
She was upgraded to critical but stable condition on Friday afternoon while being treated at UMass Memorial Medical Center.
“I think she’s going to fair well. She’s going to need to have some corrective surgeries on some fractures she sustained in her face,” said Michael Hirsh, medical director for the Worcester Department of Health and director of pediatric Trauma at UMass Memorial Medical Center.
