A MAN has been crushed to death under a car he was repairing in Melbourne's southwest today.

The victim, 48, and a friend were working under the car at a private residence in Werribee about 3.30pm (AEDT) today, police said.

One of the men got out from under the car to get a pair of pliers when the small electric forklift holding up the car failed, causing the car to fall on the other man.

Neighbours used jacks to lift the car once again.

Ambulance officers tried to revive the man but he died at the scene.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
Sad :(
