“His driveway has somewhat of an incline to it; I think he used the incline of his driveway to get underneath his vehicle,” Cleary said.
“He had a jack, and he took the tire off but didn’t put any blocks or any kind of wedges behind the tires or anything, and the thing fell off the jack.”
Cleary was incredulous.
“He was a mechanic — that’s what I don’t understand. You’d think he would have been a little safer or would have had a place to take it (for proper repairs). It’s a shame, because I’ve been told he’s a stepfather to some of these kids that live over there. And now? Nothing.”

damn, that's a tragedy. accidents happen more often when we take "short cuts" and don't do things safely. i'm willing to bet he had jackstands somewhere in the boxes - it says they were just moving in.
