GREEN OAK TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A woman 8 1/2 months pregnant fell from a loft in her home Wednesday and was impaled on a microphone stand, police said.
The 34-year-old woman was taken to the University of Michigan Hospital, where she was in serious condition, hospital spokeswoman Carolyn Mogan said. The condition of her unborn child was not released.
The woman was impaled in the upper chest, the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reported.
She was in the home's second-story loft when she became dizzy and fell, crashing through a bannister, Police Chief Robert Brookins said.
She fell onto the 3-foot microphone stand, which was amid musical instruments set up on the first floor, officials said.
She called 911 for help, the newspaper said. After she hung up, her 6-year-old son called back to help guide emergency personnel to the home, about 40 miles west of Detroit.
