A BULLDOZER driver is being questioned by Wuhan police after a 69-year old woman died trying to stop her home being demolished.
Her family said Wang Cuihua was buried alive when she fell in a pit and the driver dumped earth on her, today's Southern Metropolis Daily reported.
But Wuhan authorities in central China's Hubei Province say her death was an accident, although the driver is being questioned by police.
Wang's son Chen Yongfa said his mother was arguing with the demolition crew of about 30 young men armed with cleavers when she fell into a pit. He told the newspaper that the bulldozer moved slowly and dumped earth over her.
Chen said his mother was completely buried. He and his four brothers all tried to dig her out but she died after she was sent to hospital, the report said.
An unnamed police officer on the case said when Wang fell into the pit, the soil around her collapsed on her and killed her.
A witness named Wei Yingkui backed up Chen's story and told the newspaper that police would not let him talk about the incident.
Two district officials in Wuhan said police officers used their car to take Wang to hospital.
