A 72-year-old garage owner has died after a car he was repairing fell on him in Hong Kong.
Police received a report from a passer-by at 2.50pm on Wednesday that a man had become trapped beneath a private car off Wing Lai Road in Tseung Kwan O Upper Village.
Emergency personnel arrived to find the man unconscious, with his upper body trapped under the vehicle and only part of his legs visible.
He was rescued and taken to Tseung Kwan O Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5.03pm.
The man had reportedly raised the car with a jack and was working near its rear when it malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to fall and crush him.
Police officers were seen investigating the scene. -- South China Morning Post
