MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A St. Joseph man died Monday after his car fell on top of him while he was changing the oil.
According the Stearns County Sheriff's Office, just before 2:30 p.m. officers received a call from a woman saying she found her husband pinned underneath a car in their garage, located on the 30800 block of 1st Avenue NE.
Upon arrival, officers found Gary Glein, 58, underneath a Chevrolet HHR.
