ADRIAN, Michigan — An Adrian resident was killed Wednesday afternoon while trying to service a vehicle, according to a press release from the city’s police department.
In the release, police said officers and the city’s fire and rescue crews responded to the 900 block of South Winter Street around 2:40 p.m. after receiving a call that a person was trapped beneath a vehicle.
Officers arrived on scene and found the victim, described as a 67-year-old male from Adrian, trapped under the vehicle. The person had died prior to the arrival of emergency crews, police said.
