Mechanic crushed by falling car

Version 0 of 1.

A 27-year-old mechanic from Omagh was killed when a car he was working on fell on him, an inquest has heard.

Robert Gary Crawford, from Riverview Park in the town, was changing the gearbox when the accident happened in February.

A forensic expert said the rear wheels had not been fully secured, allowing the car to roll back and slip off two stands supporting it at the front.

Coroner Suzanne Anderson said it was a "terrible accident".
