Man dies after becoming trapped under vehicle
A Uniontown man died Friday after he became trapped under his car in the driveway of his home.
According to a spokesperson, state police responded to a home in Uniontown for a report of a man who had been run over by a vehicle.
The man apparently pulled into his driveway, did not put the car in park, exited the vehicle, and was dragged to the ground by the open driver’s side door as the car began to drift backward. He became pinned under the front tire, police said.
According to the investigation, family members and a passerby managed to free him from underneath the car before first responders arrived.
The man was taken to Uniontown Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The incident was under investigation on Saturday.
