A mechanic was crushed to death in a freak accident in Elma Close, Maverley on Saturday.
Residents reported that at about 3:30 pm, the man, who is yet to be identified, was carrying out repairs under a vehicle when the car jack malfunctioned.
“He used the jack to hoist the vehicle and was under the car carrying out repairs. Based on what we heard, the car jack broke and the vehicle fell on his head,” said one frightened resident.
“By the time we heard of the incident, he had already died. The impact alone killed him instantly,” one alleged eyewitness told Loop News.
