The woman who was hit was walking on the sidewalk when she was struck from above, ABC 7 reported.
The jumper's husband and several other people tried to help her. She was described as being 'a little hysterical' but also 'stable'.
Witness Andre Ferrier said: 'I heard a man scream and as soon as I turned... I was literally about ten feet away from the woman when she hit the ground.'

The aftermath of the situation showed a wet sidewalk after one woman was pronounced dead and the other was taken to the hospital
If you are going to try to kill yourself, would you really think 3 stories would do it? I mean, i guess for her she suceeded, but if you are going to jump, that doesn't seem high enough.

It also looks like she was 4 stories up. The bottom floor looks like businesses.
I feel really bad for the woman on the ground.

And what's so sad, at her age, she could die as a result of the injuries.
Develop pneumonia or something like that.
Senseless.

If someone wants to commit suicide, more power to them. But please do not involve other people by jumping off a building, throwing yourself on the tracks of a train, etc.
