Man dies after car collapses on top of him

A father-of-four has died after a car on which he had been working collapsed on top of him at his home in Co Clare.

Named locally as Jim Millane, the 54-year-old victim was a well-known, self-employed mechanic who was also very popular in motoring circles.

The accident happened at his home at Corlea, about 5km from Sixmilebridge. Mr Millane and his family had moved there in recent years from Doora near Ennis, where he lived and ran his own business.
