</span>A woman died after she became caught underneath her car as she was trying to de-ice it, police have said.
The 43-year-old, of Widnes in Cheshire, was found trapped under her Fiat Panda by a neighbour at about 0700 BST on Wednesday.
She was taken to Whiston Hospital but died later that day.
Cheshire Police believe the car rolled backwards as the woman was de-icing it and she was dragged under the front wheels.
The woman, who has not been named, is thought to have been trapped for about half-an-hour before her neighbour found her.
Police have appealed for anyone who was in the Wickham Close area of Widnes on Wednesday, between 0615 and 0700 BST to contact them.
A spokeswoman said: "This may help police piece together the sequence of events resulting in the woman's tragic death."
