WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- An 11-year-old girl remained in critical condition Wednesday night after an accident at Jordan Creek Town Center.
Witnesses said the girl was playing around an escalator when she fell nearly 25 feet to the floor below.
Witnesses said she did not appear to be breathing after the fall. They also said the girl was playing unattended while her mother was having a manicure.
Medics said accidents on escalators can happen, but usually are not serious.
"We see falls on escalators, I don't want to say on a regular basis, but from time to time that generally are people getting off and on the escalators. And they get caught when they come to that stop, but generally not of a serious nature," said John Woutat with West Des Moines EMS.
Mall spokesman Randy Tennison said Thursday that the child may have been sitting on the railing. He said security cameras caught "some of the girl's activities."
West Des Moines Police Lt. Jeff Miller said the investigation into the accident continues.
