A man died early Sunday morning in Goodyear after his vehicle fell on top of him, according to the Goodyear Police Department.
Officers responded to a welfare check near Yuma Road and Cotton Lane shortly before 5 a.m. When they arrived, they discovered the man pinned beneath his car. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators believe the victim had been performing maintenance on his vehicle when a jack failed, causing the car to drop suddenly. Authorities said the incident appears to be accidental, though the investigation remains ongoing.
No further details about the man’s identity or the circumstances surrounding the incident have been released. The case underscores the importance of safety precautions when using vehicle lifts or jacks, police said.
