A Northumberland County woman died after her arm got caught in the door of a clothing drop-off box while apparently removing bags from the container and she was left dangling with her feet off the ground.
Judith Permar, 56, of Mount Carmel, Pa., was standing on a step stool Sunday when it collapsed, breaking her arms and wrist and trapping her in the donation box, PennLive reported.
"She was fishing bags out and the ladder she was standing on gave way and she couldn't get her hand loose," said Chief Brian Hollenbush, Mount Carmel Township Police, when contacted by phone.
Permar died from blunt force trauma and hypothermia, according to the county coroner.
Bags with cloths and shoes that had been pulled from the bin were on the ground. Permar's black Hummer was nearby with the engine still running, said Hollenbush.
