SEATTLE – Authorities say a woman was killed when she was pinned beneath a car that crashed into an assisted-living home in North Seattle.

The Seattle Times reported the 72-year-old woman was sitting in a chair in her bedroom when the car went through an exterior wall Tuesday morning.

Firefighters performed CPR on the woman but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Seattle Fire Department spokesman Lt. Harold Webb said an 88-year-old woman who also lived at the facility was the driver.

Police said she was not injured and showed no signs of impairment.
