Woman dead by scarf in wheel

In the New Zealand coastal town of Tauranga, south-east of Auckland, a woman died in a bizarre way on Monday.

A passing driver had called an ambulance after she had seen that there was an emergency situation. The woman had already run purple and was crooked on her means of transport. The witness thought of a stroke. Because the lady wore a thick coat with a hat, it was not obvious that she wore a tie that had been caught.

The pathologist will still investigate the cause of death.
