Child Falls 3 Floors but Is Unhurt in 2nd Brush With Death
A 2-year-old girl tumbled three stories through a railing at an apartment complex, but, for the second time in her young life, came through a serious accident without a scratch, authorities said.
Raecine Gomez remained hospitalized for observation Wednesday “just to make sure,” a nursing supervisor at Denver General Hospital said.
Raecine’s family said that the girl fell through a hole left by a missing bar in the railing outside her family’s apartment.
“She’s got a guardian angel watching over her,” Tillie Gomez, the girl’s mother, said.
When Raecine was an infant, a tornado somersaulted the car she and her mother were in, rolling it three times and pushing it against a store. Raecine and her mother were unscathed.
