A 32-year-old Brampton man who was working on a car when it suddenly fell off the jack — trapping him underneath the vehicle — has died in hospital.

The Guardian has learned the man is Scott Jonathon Martin.

The freak incident occurred just before 5 p.m. Dec. 19 at Lundy's Lane and Lindridge Avenue in Brampton, in the area of Williams Parkway and Highway 410.

Peel paramedics said the patient was "trapped under a vehicle" and paramedics were "resuscitating" him, but he was rushed to local hospital in life-threatening condition and later transferred to a trauma centre in Toronto.
