Women describe downtown fall
Courtney Huffaker remembers hitting the pavement. Jesyca Baber doesn’t. Both women were hospitalized with broken bones after falling about 25 feet from a downtown Coeur d’Alene rooftop Saturday night. Huffaker, 22, was released Wednesday from Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Her back fractured in several spots and three bones shattered in her wrist. A concussion required seven stitches. “I’m doing a lot better,” she said. Baber, 30, broke her back, both feet and her right arm - around 40 fractures in all - and isn’t expected to walk for a couple more weeks, she said from her room at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. She said she feels lucky to have survived. “I definitely have an angel looking out for me”/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
