A Michigan woman who was crushed by her own car at a tollbooth along an Indiana road has died from her injuries.

State Police say 40-year-old Luciana Ortiz of Otsego, Michigan, died on Wednesday, four days after she was injured after dropping her debit card while trying to pay at a tollbooth in Hammond near the Indiana-Illinois state line.

The tragedy occurred when Ortiz opened up her door to pick up her card from the ground. As she did so, she stuck a leg outside her SUV when it suddenly lurched forward.

Her vehicle continued moving, slowly wedging Ortiz against a tollgate until she lost consciousness according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

State Trooper Alaa Hamed found Ortiz and moved the SUV to free her with the help of a toll attendant and bystander. and she was airlifted to a suburban Chicago hospital. 

The incident happened  on the Indiana Toll Road west bound at the one mile marker, about one mile east of the Illinois - Indiana border

An autopsy to determine her cause of death scheduled for Saturday showed she died of complications of mechanical asphyxiation from being pinned, according to the medical examiner’s office

The defibrillator Hamed carries in his car found no pulse, so Hamed began CPR until medics arrived. 

They used the defibrillator and it revived her. Ortiz was airlifted to a Chicago hospital with serious injuries and later died.  

Police said: 'As the woman began searching for the debit card, she put her leg out between her car and the toll booth, and the Buick lurched forward. 

'The woman became wedged between the open car door and the yellow waist-high toll box the toll gate is mounted to. 

'A witness pushed the help button at the toll gate and tried to open the passenger door, but it was locked. 

Ortiz had stepped out from her SUV to retrieve a debit card she dropped.  The car lurched forward and pinned her against the booth crushing her

State Trooper Alaa Hamed found the woman and moved the SUV to free her before performing CPR on her 

'The woman at this time was awake and speaking, but the car moved forward two more times, each time wedging her further into the box,'  a news release stated.

The witness and another male were able to get the passenger window down and place the Buick in park, when shortly thereafter Hamed and a toll attendant arrived.

The police statement added: 'An AED is a portable Automated External Defibrillator used to start someone’s heart in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. 

'Most victims need an electronic shock called defibrillation to restore the heart to a regular rhythm. 

'By placing these devices in the hands of first responders and trained individuals in public locations we increase their chance of survival'. 

An autopsy to determine  Ortiz's cause of death scheduled for Saturday showed she died of complications of mechanical asphyxiation from being pinned, according to the medical examiner’s office.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
