A car lift at a Mason repair shop fell, allowing the car it was suspending to fall on a mechanic working beneath it.

Employees at the shop were able to use two car jacks to lift the vehicle from their co-worker. Police say he was talking with ambulance personnel as they took him to a hospital, however, the extent of his injuries and his condition have not be released.

The victim has not been identified.
