Woman trapped outside dies: Storm warnings, extreme cold continue on Prairies
Freezing temperatures and poor weather conditions that have hit the Prairies in recent days are believed to have contributed to a woman’s death and caused school closures and service delays.
Paramedics say a woman in her 80s was trapped for at least an hour outside a home near Didsbury in central Alberta on Monday.
She had tripped getting out of her vehicle and her leg became pinned so she couldn’t get up.
She was found by a family member, but died in a Calgary hospital.
