A Banning woman died Saturday afternoon after her SUV pinned her against a wall in a McDonald's drive-thru in Beaumont.

The 64-year-old woman, who authorities have not identified publicly, suffered fatal injuries near Second Street and Commerce Court in the 2nd Street Marketplace shopping center, according to Beaumont police.

The shopping center is south of Interstate 10, between Pennsylvania and South Highland Springs Avenue. Its businesses include a Walmart, Best Buy and Home Depot.

The woman pulled into the drive-thru about 1:45 p.m. Saturday and got out of her 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe without placing it in park. It rolled toward her and pinned her against the building.

Cal Fire firefighters freed her and paramedics rushed her to a hospital, where she died from her injuries.

Police are trying to determine why she got out of her SUV in the drive-thru lane. There was no indication she had gotten involved in a confrontation with another patron, department spokeswoman Marcedes Cashmer said.

"The circumstances around the collision are still under investigation at this time," she said.

In response to online comments that the woman suffered a medical emergency, Cashmer said, "We believe that to just be rumor or speculation at this time."

The drive-thru was shut down during the investigation, but the restaurant remained open.

The Desert Sun contacted the restaurant Tuesday afternoon and management referred questions to officials at a regional office.
