A scary situation for a woman this morning, but thankfully no injuries.
She was apparently sleeping in a dumpster near the Brock Centre Tim Hortons on Tranquille Road when the dumpster was emptied into a garbage truck.
“[The driver] drove to by Mary Browns in the parking lot by Brock Centre, and when he was about the pick up another load, he looked into the camera and he could see here in there,” said Lt. Henry Chen, with Kamloops Fire and Rescue. “She was able to climb up to the top.”
“When we got there, she was sitting at the top.”
Chen says the woman was given a blanket, but she declined medical assistance.
“She looked fine to us,” Chen added, saying she was speaking to police on scene when fire crews left.
