DES MOINES — A 3-year-old boy who was jumping on a bed was hospitalized after he bounced out a window and fell three stories, police said.
Austin Klayon was jumping on his bed near the window of his family’s apartment in the 1600 block of Hull Avenue Wednesday when the accident happened, Des Moines Police Officer Martin Seibert said.
Seibert said Austin “bounced right out through the screen window.” He landed in an area with grass and dirt.
“He was very, very fortunate,” Seibert said.
“The child got back to his feet and he was crying,” Seibert said. “He was conscious and breathing and replying to questions.”
“It was miraculous that he was able to get up,” Seibert said.
Seibert said the child’s mother was home at the time and ran to the boy. The father returned home shortly thereafter.
Austin was in fair condition Wednesday at a Des Moines hospital.
