A New Bedford man was found Monday afternoon crushed by the car he was repairing.

The Honda Accord was propped up by a hydraulic lift jack and two portable stands. One of the jacks lacked strength, causing the car to descend on the man.

Officials have not released the identity of the 49-year-old.

The victim was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital soon after the incident where he was later pronounced dead.
