A 21-year-old University of Georgia student, Kristin Sargent, survives an eighth-floor fall after she reportedly falls from an off-campus apartment window in Athens, Georgia. Police say the incident happens on Saturday evening and that she lands on a courtyard pool deck.
According to witnesses cited by outlets, Sargent was dancing on a couch or an air mattress near the window before she fell through a screen. Her father says she is badly injured but remains awake and is recovering in intensive care. One report characterizes her survival as a “miracle,” while other coverage focuses on the police account and witness description of the moments before the fall.
Both sources agree on the basic facts: Sargent is 21, the fall is from the eighth floor, and she lands in the building’s courtyard area, sustaining multiple injuries.
