She was compacted 4 times in a row
Firefighters deployed to the scene claim that the woman was already in the dumpster before the collectors arrived, and that she was not noticed by the road maintenance staff.
For reasons that are not yet clear to investigators, the woman found herself trapped among the rubbish, and was compacted four times before she was seen by a garbage collector who was monitoring the security camera inside the truck.
According to Fox, she told firefighters that she fell into the dumpster while throwing out trash.
Eyewitness accounts
Some witnesses heard the trapped woman's ordeal. A neighbour, Amanda Czzowitz, told Boston 25:
All we could hear were her screams. She was agonizing.
When the fire department arrived, she was standing in the bin lorry, screaming for help. A large-scale rescue operation was launched. The firefighters rescued her with a stretcher carried by a crane through the roof of the truck.
The woman was taken to hospital in a serious condition, and her state of health has not yet been disclosed.
