Westminster tot bounces off bed through 2nd-story window

Westminster police are investigating an incident in which a 2-year-old girl fell from a two-story bedroom window Thursday.

The toddler, who was not identified, was taken to Children's Hospital, where she was in stable condition Thursday night.

"She was conscious and crying but lethargic," said Stephanie Topkoff, spokeswoman for Westminster police.

Investigators learned that the girl had been bouncing on a bed in an upstairs bedroom.

"The bed was next to a window," said Topkoff. "The window doesn't have a screen, and she fell."

The toddler fell two floors, but it was not known whether she fell on rocks below the window or on the grass.
