Reports say a man fell three stories from the  parking lot Friday afternoon at approximately 1:30 p.m. Officials from both Westwood and Dedham were on the scene. Amtrak Police were also requested to respond to the scene.

Medflight was more than 25 minutes out, so original request for medical transports was cancelled, and officials transported the victim by ambulance. The victim's condition is said to be life-threatening. The victim is being transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston.

It was not immediately clear whether the victim fell of the garage or jumped.
