On Monday evening, strong winds in Queens caused a window glass panel to fall from an eight-story apartment building, striking a 9-year-old girl and a male relative. Fortunately, while they were hospitalized for evaluation, they did not suffer any serious injuries or lacerations.
The incident occurred around 6:10 p.m. when glass dislodged from an apartment balcony and shattered on the sidewalk below. Local authorities responded quickly, surveying the scene and assessing the risk of similar incidents due to gusty winds of up to 30 mph.
