Man Critically Injured After Three-Story Jump Into Lake

A 20-something Rainier Valley Beach man suffered critical injuries on Sunday evening, after a failed jump from a three-story-high balcony into Lake Washington. The young man's alcohol-infused plans for a successful jump into the lake below were foiled after striking his head on the second story balcony and, seconds later, the water below. KOMO-TV reports that neighbors pulled the unresponsive man out of the water and began CPR, until medics arrived at the 9600 block of Rainier Avenue South. The victim, rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, is listed in critical condition.
