CHENEY, Wash. -- Cheney Fire crews say a 4-year-old fell three stories out of a window on to the hood of a car at an apartment complex near Eastern Washington University on Saturday.

The fall happened just after 6:00 Saturday evening at the Cedar Apartments in the 100 block of N. 9th Street.

Firefighters say the child was "conscious and alert" after the fall, but did sustain some head injuries.

A MedStar helicopter was originally dispatched to the scene, but the child was eventually taken to a local hospital by ambulance.

The severity of the child's injuries were not immediately known.
