RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The Benton County coroner says a 42-year-old Richland man was killed when the truck he was working on rolled back onto him.

Coroner Rick Corson says Stephen Richardson was working Sunday evening under a small red pickup truck outside his apartment. The man was reportedly working on the transmission and apparently disengaged the brake, causing the truck to roll backward onto his neck.
