A terrible accident shocked everyone on Monday: in Weyer, a four-year-old boy fell out of a second-floor window, plummeted around nine meters and hit the asphalt - the "Krone" reported. According to the police, the accident happened when the boy's mother (26) was in the toilet.

Fly screen gave way
The four-year-old and his brother (6) were playing together in the family home. The younger boy climbed from the bed to the windowsill in the bedroom, probably leaning against the fly screen in the open window. This gave way and the four-year-old fell from the second floor.

The mother noticed the accident immediately and took her screaming son to relatives nearby, who called the emergency services. A rescue helicopter flew the four-year-old to the Kepler University Hospital in Linz with life-threatening injuries.

No danger to life
And positive news has just come from there: "There was no longer any danger to life on Monday," the hospital says. "The boy may be able to be transferred to the normal ward on Tuesday or Wednesday."
