Illinois Woman Falls Out Of Window, Lands On Car, Goes To Sleep

LAKEMOOR, Ill. — Police said a 30-year-old woman apparently fell out of a third-story window, landed on her parked car, and then walked into a neighbor's house, where she fell asleep on a couch for two hours. Lakemoor Police Chief Mike Marchese said family members believe the woman woke up before dawn Thursday and fell through the screen while opening a third-floor window.

Marchese said the woman bounced off the hood of her car, walked through a neighbor's open garage door and went into the house.

The neighbor found her asleep two hours later and called 911.

The woman, whom police have not identified, was taken by ambulance to Centegra Hospital-McHenry. Marchese said she was not suffering from any life-threatening injuries, but he did not know her condition.

The falling out of the window bneeds some explaining, but it sounds to me like she has/had a serious concussion at the very least.

Sounds like chain emails are becoming news now.

So, how does anyone know this is what happened? If there were no witnesses (I'm assuming there weren't since no one called the cops initally), did all this come from the woman? And falling asleep seems pretty much the wrong conclusion...passed/blacked out more like it. Not too many people fall out of windows while opening them, I'd figure there had to be something else going on...

Brain trauma. She would have been disoriented. She's lucky they found her. She could have just quietly stopped breathing and died.

I'd marry that woman. Anyone who sleeps off a fall is good in my book.

Lakemoor Illinois has that effect on a lot of people.

I doubt very much that she "fell asleep". Her fall most likely had something to do with it. Maybe she fell unconscious.

Some how the World Cup and soccer fits into the scene, I'm just not sure how.

Probably not - her brain was probably pretty shaken up and causing disorientation, which would not be an unusual result of such a traumatic fall.

She's only 30 years old - not an "old lady" by most people's standards.
