Girl, 3, hurt in fall from Rotterdam window; Fifth such incident in just over 3 weeks

A 3-year-old girl got seriously injured in a fall from a window on Franselaan in Rotterdam-West on Thursday evening. She was rushed to the hospital in worrying condition. It is the fifth time in just over three weeks that a child has been hurt in a fall from a building in the Rotterdam region, according to Rijnmond.

The cause of the girl’s fall is still unknown. The police are investigating.

Last week, a 1-year-old toddler got seriously hurt after falling out of a window of a home on Mathenesserdijk, also in Rotterdam-West.

On Saturday, a 6-year-old girl fell from a balcony in Rotterdam-Feijenoord and sustained serious injuries.

At the end of July, two such incidents occurred on the same day. A 5-year-old fell from a window in Vlaardingen, and a 4-year-old fell from a window in Rotterdam-Feijenoord. Both got hurt.
