A St Joseph man has died after an accident repairing his car.

Raymond Hoover was taken to Heartland last week in serious condition after the car he was working on fell on his chest. 

He died in the hospital over the weekend.

Officials say he was working on his car in the 3100 block of Sherry Lane Wednesday afternoon when the jack failed at around 2:30 p.m.

Hoover’s children alerted a neighbor, who called 911.
