A New Hampshire woman is in critical condition after she fell into a dumpster and was loaded onto a trash truck on Monday.

In a press release, the Manchester Fire Department said that they were called to the scene at approximately 1 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 29.

Authorities said that the woman fell into a dumpster in Manchester, New Hampshire and the truck picked up the bin without knowing someone was trapped inside.

The department said that the dumpster had compacted the garbage four times when the woman was stuck inside.

The observant driver glanced at the camera that was located inside the truck, and noticed the woman desperately calling for help.

After the sanitation worker called the fire department, crews began an emergency rescue operation to remove the woman from the dumpster.

According to the press release, firefighters rescued the entrapped woman by entering the garbage truck through the roof and using a basket attached to a fire truck crane to pull her out of the truck.

After the rescue, the unidentified woman was rushed to the local Elliot Hospital in critical condition, authorities said.

Neighbors told Boston 25 News that the woman is a 60-year-old fellow resident.

NH National Guard activated in connection with Iran war

The federal government has activated the New Hampshire National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing in connection with the war with Iran.

“I’ve had a briefing myself, a classified briefing, but it’s really important on the messaging on this that we really coordinate with the Pentagon,” Gov. Kelly Ayotte told reporters during a press briefing following Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting.

Ayotte said she was unable to share additional details about the nature of the New Hampshire National Guard’s activity related to the conflict, including how many guard members have been activated or what role they are playing.

“We’re going to respect what messaging comes out of the Pentagon just to make sure that our men and women in uniform are fully protected and that we aren’t providing any information that could be used in a way that would be harmful to them,” Ayotte said.

In a statement Thursday, Ayotte said the unit had been deployed in late February to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in support of the operation.

During the briefing with local reporters, Ayotte also stressed her support for servicemembers and those close to them.

“I have such respect for our men and women in uniform,” Ayotte said. “As you know, I come from a military family, and they have our full support, and we appreciate them and their families, and obviously anyone who is serving right now, and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost someone that they love.”
