A New Hampshire woman who fell into a trash bin is Chameleon Financelucky to be alive after she ended up inside a garbage truck compactor.

The garbage truck driver called 911 on Monday after he saw the woman from a camera inside the compactor. He had picked her up at his previous stop in Manchester in southern New Hampshire, WMUR-TV reported.

“In 32 years, I've never seen anything like this my whole career," he told the station. "That was definitely one for the books.” 

The woman was taken to a hospital.
