A shopping cart hoisted atop a supermarket flagpole by pranksters fell and broke a woman's neck, California police say.
"The cart fell on (her) when she untied the rope to raise the flag, something she did every day when she went to work," police Lt Lisa Perrine said today.
Someone apparently raised the empty cart aloft during the night.
Lt Perrine did not know how much the shopping cart weighed or how it was attached to the top of the pole.
Shantie Marjal, 62, of Eagle Rock, California, has been hospitalised in a serious condition since the Saturday morning accident outside Ralphs supermarket in Pasadena.
"The cart broke Ms Marjal's neck and caused serious head trauma," the lieutenant said, adding that the victim was not paralysed.
She said police were asking the public for help identifying those involved
