Mother crushed to death after she grabbed automatic garage door as it opened
A 40-year-old woman was crushed to death by an automatic garage door after she attempted to hold on to the doors as it opened, according to reports. The woman, identified as Heidi Chalkley, was reportedly pulled into the metal shutters in an underground car park in Ruth Bagnall Court, Cambridge after she held the opening shutters with her hands.
The mother-of-one and a social worker met a brutal death in front of her friend Susan Gilmore, who watched Chalkley in horror as she rose three feet from the floor before blood began spurting out of her mouth, according to the Daily Mail.
On the day of her death, Chalkley had parked her vehicle in a car park underneath Gilmore's home in Cambridge on August 14, 2016. The incident occurred when the duo was heading out for drinks.
