(WESH/NBC News) An 8-year-old girl suffered minor injuries when she fell out of a third story window at an Orange County, Florida hotel Thursday.
Rescuers responded to the Extended Stay America on Palm Parkway around 2 p.m.
“Very fortunate this child was not seriously injured, because of the height of the fall,” Mike Jachles, Orange County Fire Rescue said.
The child is from the United Kingdom and was in Orange County with her sibling and parents.
