   (Reuters) - A San Francisco-area woman was crushed to death in   
   her driveway by a load of gravel that spilled accidentally from   
   a dump truck onto her car as she was about to move the vehicle   
   at the request of construction workers, authorities said on   
   Tuesday.   
      
   The tragedy occurred on Monday afternoon while sidewalk   
   construction was under way along a half-mile stretch of the   
   woman's street in the East Bay town of Martinez, according to an   
   initial report gathered by workplace safety inspectors.   
      
   “Someone knocked on her door, the lady came out, then actually   
   the chain of events that happened from there are under   
   investigation as to how the gravel load came down onto the   
   woman’s car, pinning her and killing her inside,” said Julia   
   Bernstein, a spokeswoman for California's Occupational Safety   
   and Health Division.   
      
   “It was not expected, and it was absolutely an accident,” she   
   said.   
      
   The Contra Costa County coroner's office identified the victim   
   as Lindsey Combs, 32, who according to her Facebook profile was   
   a hairdresser and the mother of a 4-year-old girl.   
      
   Martinez police were not immediately available for comment.   
      
   State safety inspectors have six months to investigate and   
   report on the incident, including any citations or fines that   
   might be issued should workplace infractions be found.   
      
   Bernstein said the general contractor for the project was cited   
   in 2009 and 2010 for such regulatory violations as failing to   
   post proper signs.
