An 18-year-old man has died after being crushed by a van at an auto repair shop in Sherbrooke Tuesday morning.

The van toppled from a hoist onto Maxime Fortier at about 8:10 a.m. at the Paul Boucher Mechanic shop on Pavillon St. in Rock Forest.

Sherbrooke police said that the vehicle fell off the lift, which was not of the hydraulic variety.

The young man had only recently finished his studies and had only recently started working at the garage.

The CSST is investigating.
