A DULVERTON pensioner died after she was trapped beneath a vehicle outside her house in Musgraves in the town.

Laura Greenfield, 88, had just arrived home when the accident happened shortly before 4.30pm last Sunday.

An air ambulance was called but Mrs Greenfield died at the scene.

A post mortem carried out earlier this week revealed she suffered multiple traumatic injuries.

An inquest into the death was opened on Tuesday but adjourned to a date to be fixed.

The 92-year-old driver of the vehicle involved was uninjured.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police confirmed that an investigation into the accident had been launched.
