Woman Crushed By Garage Door Made Fake 911 Call

Remember the strange story of the Idaho woman crushed and killed when an ambulance bay door closed on top of her last Thursday? Now it gets even weirder.

Police now say the woman lured away paramedics with a bogus 911 call. Once the crew left the building, 35-yr old Melissa Farris attempted to slip under the closing door, according to Caldwell Police Chief Chris Allgood. Sensors were located higher up than most home garage door sensors, and apparently did not sense Farris as the door closed on top of her.

Farris made a 911 call reporting an overturned car accident. The call was almost two minutes long and full of detail. Emergency personnel never located the incident.

Ironically, Farris had worked with the same ambulance company for seven years before leaving in December. Investigators have not released any details on Farris motive for luring the paramedics away or for attempting to get into the building.
