STAATSBURG, N.Y. – Authorities say a woman who fell head-first into a garbage chute was rescued from her New York apartment building.

Crews found a woman stuck in a trash chute between the second and third floors. She was removed from the chute about 40 minutes later.
Officials say she was taken to Vassar Brothers Medical Center for treatment. It is unclear if she sustained any injuries.
