FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) - Authorities say a 3-year-old girl is recovering after falling out of a fifth-floor window at an apartment complex in northern Virginia.

Officials say the child fell more than 50 feet Tuesday night from a home in the Skyline Towers Apartments in Falls Church.

Capt. Mike Fontana says the child’s injuries were not life-threatening. He says some shrubs and branches helped to break the fall.



Officials say the child was still in the hospital as of Wednesday night.
