Man Falls Down 30-Foot Window Well at Voice of America

A man is in serious condition after falling down a 30-foot window well at Voice of America headquarters in Southwest early Sunday morning.

A spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS said the fall was the result of horseplay.

At about 12:30 a.m., a man in his 20s jumped over a wall without looking.

Firefighters used a ramp to rescue the man, who was unconscious. He was taken to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries.

Hazmat responded and conducted atmospheric monitoring tests.
