ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A teenager fell six stories Friday after trying to leap from one parking garage to another, but suffered only a broken shoulder and other fractures.

Timothy Bargfrede, 18, of Longwood, and a friend realized they were at the wrong parking garage, so the friend jumped from one roof to the other, about a 2 1/2-foot leap, Orlando police Lt. Orlando Rolon said.

Bargfrede fell when he tried to jump, and became wedged six stories down between the two buildings. Firefighters had to cut through the concrete to free him, Rolon said.

``He's very lucky to be alive,'' said his father, Tim Bargfrede.
