A St. Joseph area man died Monday afternoon after getting trapped underneath a car in his garage, according to Stearns County officials.
Gary Glein had used a floor jack to lift up a vehicle he was working on in the garage at 30890 First Ave. NE just north of the St. Joseph city limits. The 58-year-old removed a wheel to change the oil and was under the car when the car slipped off the jack causing it to land on his chest.
Glein’s wife came home from work and found him trapped underneath the car. Stearns County sheriff’s deputies along with St. Joseph police officers, St. Joseph fire and Rescue and Gold Cross Ambulance responded to the scene of the fatal accident.
