AN elderly Wimborne woman died after being crushed under the wheels of a bin lorry in the town Square on Thursday
Horrified witnesses were in shock following the accident.
More than dozen emergency vehicles were at the scene and police officers taped off the Square barring vehicles and pedestrians for several hours, and diversions put in place.
Two young teenage girls witnessed the incident and were taken to the nearby Red Cross charity shop where they were interviewed by police and comforted by store volunteers while waiting for their parents to collect them.
