On the 1st (local time), foreign media including the AP reported that a woman living in New Hampshire was rescued from the cargo compartment of a garbage truck. The woman went out to dispose of trash but fell into a large trash bin and was dumped into the cargo compartment of the collection truck along with other garbage. Fortunately, a neighbor heard the woman’s screams, and the truck driver also noticed that a person had fallen into the cargo area. The fire department, responding to the report, safely rescued the woman.

The fire department told the media, "The driver compressed the trash up to four times before the rescue arrived," and added, "We used a ladder to rescue the woman from the top of the truck, and although she was able to speak, she was not mentally alert enough to answer questions," describing the situation at the time.

After the accident, the woman was transported to a nearby hospital. A firefighter involved in the rescue told local media, "Many people don’t believe this accident really happened, but it is true," and added, "In my 32 years as a firefighter, this was the first time I encountered such an accident."
