Toddler falls, saved by tires

Normally we wouldn’t want janky old tires piled next to our apartment building, but there’s one mom today that’s glad they were there.

An Ohio toddler who fell 30 feet from a window is recovering thanks to a stack of tires that softened his fall.

Twenty-month-old Jaelin Lewis bounced through the screen of an open apartment window in Columbus while playing on a bed with his mother Wednesday. He hit four old tires on the ground before tumbling onto a concrete patio.

Neighbor William Zander tried to catch the boy and says it was the type of scene that makes people believe in angels and miracles.

Or, you know, fortunate circumstance.
