WSU student injured in three-story fall

A man was hospitalized after falling three stories from a fraternity house roof in Pullman early Sunday.

Police Sgt. Dan Dornes said an 18-year-old member of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity on Northeast Colorado Street was on the house roof shortly before 2 a.m. when he slipped and fell. The man was conscious, alert and could feel his fingers when paramedics arrived on scene. Dornes would not release the name of the victim, and an update on his condition was not available before press time.

"I must say he's pretty fortunate to be alive," Dornes said, adding there is no indication of foul play.
