A 10-year-old Chinese boy survived falling 20 floors from an apartment window.

The boy fell from the open window and landed in a car, shattering its back window.

A doctor at the People's Hospital of Guizhou in southern China said he suffered skull fractures and bleeding on the brain and remains under close observation.

Police said they assumed the fall was accidental.

Last month a New York man survived after falling 39 stories and crashing through a car's back window.
