Madison Avenue advertising executive crushed to death after elevator starts moving with the doors still open (Daily Mail)
more, with pictures, at link aboveA woman was crushed to death today in a freak elevator accident when it began rising as she stepped into it.
Suzanne Hart, 41, from California, who worked at advertising giants Young and Rubicam who have their offices in the building, was halfway onto the elevator when it shot upwards without warning, its doors still open.
A fire official said she was 'mangled up really bad' and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other people suffered minor injuries in the horrific tragedy, which took place inside a 25-storey building in Manhattan's Madison Avenue.
They were taken to New York University Hospital where they were treated for trauma after they had watched in horror as Ms Hart died.
Fire officials believe the elevator rose at least two floors.
