A woman loading towels into an industrial steamer at a Queens dry cleaner was crushed yesterday when her scarf became caught in the machine, police sources said.

Limin Min Huang, 32, was left brain dead after the freak accident at 4:45 p.m. at An Huan Laundry Service on Tuckerton Street and Liberty Avenue, an industrial strip in Jamaica, the sources added.

“She was looking into the machine and she forgot she had something on her neck. The machine pulled her and then the machine stopped,” said manager Hong Zhang.

The married woman had worked there for three years, he said.
