SYDNEY, Dec 8 AAP - A woman is in a critical condition after being trapped underneath
plasterboard sheeting for more than six hours at her outer south western Sydney home.
The 34-year-old was moving cement and plasterboard sheeting inside a shipping container
on her Proud Place property in Mt Hunter, southwest of Sydney, on Tuesday when she was
pinned to the ground across her legs.
The woman was unable to free herself and could not alert anyone as she was home alone.
She was not discovered until her children returned home from school.
Police and Fire Brigades Rescue personnel were immediately called to the scene.
They commenced an operation to lift the sheeting and free the woman.
Shortly before 6pm, the woman was freed and taken to Liverpool Hospital with a broken femur.
She is currently in the Intensive Care Unit in a critical condition.
