OTTAWA – A 55 year-old man is in hospital after his vehicle fell on him and was lifted off by three bystanders on Thursday afternoon.
The man was working underneath the car outside an apartment building in the Bayshore area.
Paramedics were called to the incident at about 3:10 p.m., after they say the jack holding up the vehicle lost its hydraulic pressure, causing it to land on his chest.
The man was able to yell out for help and three people came to the rescue, lifting the vehicle and pulling him to safety.
He was taken to hospital in serious but stable condition with chest and shoulder injuries.
