A western Pennsylvania man has been killed by a car that fell on him when a jack slipped as he worked on the vehicle in his grandparents driveway.

Westmoreland County deputy coroner Gerald Fritz says 24-year-old Kevin Garland Jr., of Blairsville, died of asphyxiation Wednesday night.

Fritz says the mans grandmother found him under the car and called 911 about 7:40 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
