Just had a call from my son. There’s a part time/amateur mechanic that lives opposite him. Has a garage in his back garden. Fire engine and about 6 police cars outside now, apparently a car he was working on had fallen on him. Dead I’m afraid, how absolutely terrible. Don’t know the full circumstances yet but it just shows the importance of supporting a raised vehicle properly before going underneath. I always make my students use axle stands and I invite them to try to push it off of them before going underneath.
