A man was taken to St. Luke's Hospital Monday afternoon after being pinned underneath a car.

The incident happened around 4pm in the vicinity of Acushnet Avenue and Walnut Street.

A Fire Department spokesman tells WBSM News, the car was on jacks when it somehow slipped off and fell on the man.

District Chief James Fournier says the victim was not breathing and did not have a pulse when brought to the hospital. He said the incident appeared to be a tragic accident.

Police said no press release was available on the incident.
