Spokane Responders Rescue Woman From Garbage Truck

A woman apparently sleeping in a dumpster was accidentally emptied into a garbage truck in downtown Spokane. The driver heard her screaming and stopped, and first responders used a ladder and stretcher to rescue her. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, including arm pain. Police said this was the third time the same driver had encountered someone dumped into his truck; a local resident with experience of homelessness urged the community to respond with greater care and support for people in need.
