The dumpster and garbage truck behind the Taco Bell.

Medics transported an Everett woman to the hospital after she and a man were dumped from a dumpster into the back of a commercial garbage truck behind the Taco Bell in the 2700 Block of Broadway Monday morning. The compactor in the back of the garbage truck did make a cycle before the two were discovered. The man was able to climb out of the back of the truck but the woman was stuck inside by the compactor. An Everett Police Officer jumped into the back of the truck and stayed with the woman until paramedics and firefighters could stabilize her and remove her from the truck. No word yet on the extent of her injuries. Here are some pictures taken by MyEverettNews.com. Click to enlarge.
