A 20-month-old survived a six-story fall from a Seattle area apartment complex Wednesday night and may have been saved by a parked car that broke his fall, a local Fox affiliate reported.
“It’s about 60 to 70 feet; if the car hadn’t been there this would’ve been a completely different story," Redmond Police Public Information Officer James Perry told Q13. "The denting on top of the car suggests it absorbed a lot of the impact from the child."

The owner of the car said he decided to bike to work instead of driving in.
The boy had reportedly been lying on a mattress and propped himself up on the windowsill before falling out. His four-year-old sister realized he was no longer in the room and ran to tell her mom “something bad had happened,” Perry said.
