A Waldo County man was crushed to death when a mobile home he was trying to put wheels on fell off its jacks in Searsport on Friday.
The 54-year-old man, whom police described as the son of the owner of the mobile home, was pinned beneath the structure on Pond Street at about 9:05 a.m. A work crew that was assisting him called 911 immediately and commandeered a backhoe to lift the mobile home, but their efforts were unsuccessful, Searsport Police Chief Todd Boisvert said.
A man died when a house trailer shifted and fell on him while he was trying to put the wheels back on.
