SUV falls on man as he does repairs near Grayslake

A 52-year-old man was pinned by an SUV as he worked underneath it Tuesday afternoon at his home east of Grayslake and is in critical condition, police said Wednesday.

Investigators determined the man was changing a transmission filter on his Chevrolet Tahoe and likely raised the vehicle's front end by driving onto a decorative rock. While he was working underneath, the SUV came off the rocks and landed on him, Lake County sheriff's Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said Wednesday.

A neighbor who heard a loud crash discovered the man under the SUV and called 911. When sheriff's deputies arrived to the home on the 33800 block of North Oak Street, the man was not breathing.

Officers performed CPR on the man until paramedics arrived. The man was rushed to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he remains in critical condition, Covelli said.
