DUTCH JOHN, Daggett County — A man was killed when a small building fell on top of him Thursday morning.

The man, whose name and age were not released, was underneath the converted single-wide trailer when a jack slipped and he was crushed, said Daggett County sheriff's deputy John Martineau.

Deputies used a backhoe with forklifts to move the building. The man was dead when police arrived around noon, Martineau said.
