TOPSFIELD, MASS. (WHDH) - An elderly Topsfield woman died at the hospital after she was found pinned between her car and her garage door on Monday morning, officials said.
Emergency crews responding to a home on Andrews Road found the victim wedged between her SUV and the side of the garage door, according to the Topsfield Police Department.
A preliminary investigation indicates the 72-year-old woman got out of her SUV and left it in reverse, causing it to roll back and pin her against the door, according to Topsfield Fire Chief Jen Collins-Brown
The victim had to be revived at the scene before being taken to Beverly Hospital. She was later airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, a spokeswoman for the Essex District Attorney’s Office said.
Neighbors rushed to free the woman before first responders arrived at the scene, Collins-Brown said.
The woman’s name has not been released.
