A Healdsburg man died Monday night after his car fell on him, police said.

Raul Marroquin, 54, was working on the sedan around 8:45 p.m. in a gravel lot of his East Street home when the jack holding up the car failed, dropping the vehicle on him, Healdsburg police said.

Police and firefighters were called to the home two minutes later. The Sonoma County Coroner’s Office also responded.
