Briefly in the news

A 1-year-old girl was released from hospital care in good health

Sunday after plummeting from a second-story window onto a concrete

sidewalk a day earlier.

Little Lily Olson was discharged in stable condition. She received

only minor scrapes to her knee in the Saturday accident, said hospital

officials at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana.

Olson fell from the upstairs window of a vacation rental at about 1:30

p.m. Saturday when the window screen she was apparently leaning on gave

way, Newport Beach Police officials said.

The Olson family had just arrived at the rental, in the 2000 block of

Court Street, from Salt Lake City, and Lily and a sibling were placed in

a second-story bedroom while their parents unloaded luggage, police

added.

A passing officer saw Lily’s fall. She immediately began crying and

was taken to Western Medical Center for treatment.
