It's not exactly 100 words, but it's close enough.
Rockland- A girl nearly drowned herself yesterday afternoon in a washing machine at Glen Rock Laundry and Dry Cleaner.
Police Chief Ralph Robinson said that 3-year old Jennifer Childs climbed inside one of the washers while playing with her sister at the laundromat. Jennifer's sister Elizabeth, 7, closed the door without knowing that a customer previously put coins into the machine, he said.
When Elizabeth realized the washer was running, she went to get her aunt, Janice Childs. Childs tried to open the door, but could not because the washers had automatic door locks. Five minutes later, a bystander, Paul Hecker, rescued Jennifer by using a hammer to smash the glass in the washing machine door.
Afterwards, a Rockland Hospital spokesperson said the hospital admitted Jennifer and listed her in good condition.
