A autistic woman who saw several Instagram posts captioned “get fall ready” took this as a literal instruction and has hurled herself from an upstairs window, reports have indicated.
Sarah Harrow, 33, from Huddersfield, hates pumpkin-spice lattes, but loves the feeling of descending from a great height at speed to her possible demise.
Harrow explained: “I really wanted to get into the fall spirit. Ow, my leg!”
Paramedic at the scene Ryan Wilkins, 26, said: “We were concerned seasonal depression had set in prematurely, but then Sarah waved cheerfully from the large pile of leaves that had cushioned her fall.”
Harrow could be heard shouting , whilst being escorted into the ambulance: “I just love everything fall!”
